STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Three

AN ACT establishing a point system for the annual moose permit lottery.

Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:

189:1 Moose Hunting; Lottery for Permits. Amend RSA 208:1-a, II to read as follows:

II. The executive director, with the consent of the commission, shall also adopt rules under RSA 541-A to regulate the issuance of licenses or permits, including the establishment of a lottery for awarding of permits to applicants, and to set fees for applications, licenses, or permits for both resident and nonresident applicants.

189:2 New Paragraph; Point System For Applications. Amend RSA 208:1-a by inserting after paragraph II the following new paragraph:

II-a. Any permit lottery established under paragraph II shall include a bonus point system as a weighing factor to benefit applicants not drawn in the annual moose permit lottery. Beginning with the 2004 lottery, the moose permit lottery shall allow a person to accumulate one point for each consecutive year that person legally purchases an application for a permit but is not selected to receive a permit. Each point entitles that applicant to one chance in the lottery. A person's accumulated points shall be non-transferable and shall be forfeited if, in any year, that person is selected to receive a permit or that person fails to purchase a new chance.

189:3 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.

(Approved: June 30, 2003)

(Effective Date: August 29, 2003)
