The House approved House Bill 1145 which would require new landfills to be owned by the state or its political subdivisions but managed by a private contractor and would prohibit any future landfills from being privately owned.
Friday with most lawmakers already at their destinations for the week-long vacation, it wasn’t exactly a news dump, but an ethics opinion dump with a couple of sticky issues.

The N.H. House and Senate will vote on a bill Thursday that would prohibit people from mounting game cameras on private property without the permission of the landowner.
