CONCORD — Following the vote in the state Senate last Thursday to sustain Gov. Chris Sununu’s veto of HB 1454, which would establish a formula for determining the distance a new landfill must be located from perennial water sources, Rep. Megan Murray (D-Amherst) refiled the bill last Friday for the 2023 legislative session.

On Thursday, the House voted overwhelmingly to override Sununu’s veto of the bill, 256-65, but the Senate failed to override it on a 12-11 vote, when a two-thirds majority was needed to overturn the governor’s action.
