New Hampshire HB1473 aims to protect agricultural fairground property from unreasonable zoning restrictions.

New Hampshire HB1473 amends state law to ensure that agricultural fairground property is not unreasonably limited by municipal planning and zoning powers. The bill emphasizes the importance of agriculture and agricultural fairs to the state's economy, environment, and aesthetic features. It prohibits cities, towns, or counties from adopting or amending zoning ordinances that unreasonably restrict land or structures dedicated to periodic agricultural fairs, provided they are owned by a corporation promoting agricultural and mechanical skills. The act takes effect upon passage.
