Letter

 

To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield:

This year I’m submitting 17 bills, nearly all from constituent requests or from the study committees I served on this summer. The two most important bills eliminate some old exemptions from rule making procedures, and put a number of license fees into statute (reducing nearly all of them). That came from the committee on fees in rules, where we found that the smaller licensing boards didn’t have the budgetary flexibility to limit their fees to their expenses – and they didn’t want to repeatedly adjust their fees. The exemptions came to light when we were investigating a constituent’s problem getting a state driveway permit, and found that the state was using lot definitions from 1971 to determine how many driveways were allowed! The Department of Transportation could do this because they were exempted from rule making oversight: they could make any rules they wanted for driveway permits, with no public hearings, no expiration dates, and no oversight. I found several other exemptions of the same sort – mostly more than 30 years old – and plan to repeal them.

 

Two more significant bills came from the committee investigating the state Liquor Commission: one to revise their rule making authority to be more specific and narrower, and another to expand the ability of restaurants and specialty shops to buy wine and spirits from sources other than the liquor commission. Right now they need the commission’s permission to buy any, which limits the variety of wines available to consumers in the state. I’m working with the commission on a procedure to authorize licensees to freely obtain specialty wines and liquors without affecting the revenue the commission brings to the state.

 

Interested readers can email me for my newsletter, with more details than fit here.
