AN ACT relative to the definition of "licensing agency" for purposes of licensing places of assembly.

 

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

 

1  Places of Assembly; Definition of Licensing Agency.  Amend RSA 155:17, II to read as follows:

II.  "Licensing agency" shall mean the chief of the fire department, the firewards or engineers, if any, otherwise the selectmen of the town or the commissioners of village district as the case may be, or the state fire marshal, as he or she deems necessary, in consultation with the local licensing agency, if any.

2  Places of Assembly; License Required.  Amend RSA 155:18 to read as follows:

155:18  License Required.  No person shall own or operate a place of assembly within this state unless licensed so to do by the licensing agency of the state, city, town, or village district where said place of assembly is located, including assemblies occurring on state waters or ice formed on state waters, in accordance with the regulations herein promulgated.  In the application of this act to existing places of assembly the licensing agency may modify such of its provisions as would require structural changes if in his or her opinion adequate safety may be obtained otherwise and provided that a permanent record is kept of such modifications and the reasons therefor.

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