Legislation affecting municipalities:

Freeman bill to protect the Appalachian Trail approved in House (12-13-07).
This week, the State House passed Rep. Bob Freeman's legislation that would require municipalities that border the Appalachian Trail to adopt, implement and enforce zoning ordinances as part of their responsibility to protect the trail. Now the bill has to pass the state Senate, then the governor needs to sign it before it becomes law. This could take at least another year.
