Reaffirms that planning, zoning, and related regulations are the responsibility of municipal government.

The bill reaffirms that planning, zoning, and related regulations are the responsibility of municipal government, as stated in RSA 672:1. It emphasizes that these regulations are a legislative tool for municipalities to meet the demands of growing communities. The bill also notes that the Standard Zoning Enabling Act, originally drafted in 1924, was intended to empower municipalities and their residents to zone, if they choose. It opposes recent efforts to undermine local zoning regulations.
