METHODOLOGY:
This bill requires municipalities to only use local law enforcement officers for temporary traffic control when there are specific safety concerns about the project, or if qualified traffic flaggers are unavailable. The New Hampshire Municipal Association states that modifying when flaggers versus uniformed officers may be used for traffic control may alter the revenue accrued from special detail projects. Additionally, this bill may reduce the instances of when uniformed officers may be used on municipal projects, potentially decreasing costs for municipally funded projects. Ultimately, this bill’s potential net impact on municipal revenue and expenditures in FY 2024 and beyond cannot be estimated as it would vary by project.
