CONCORD — The Senate unanimously passed a bill making the red-tailed hawk the state raptor, killed a bill eliminating the use of plastic straws and voted that municipalities must notify abutters of plans to use their roads for OHRVs prior to a hearing.

Meanwhile, down the hall, Gov. Chris Sununu signed 21 bills into law, including one to help in the development of the Balsams resort in Dixville Notch.
