exempting certain agricultural practices from municipal noise regulation.

HB 272 removes local noise regulations that currently apply to specific agricultural operations, such as early-morning farm equipment use. It directly affects farmers and agricultural businesses by exempting certain routine practices from municipal noise ordinances. The bill becomes effective August 1, 2025, after passing both legislative chambers and being signed by Governor Ayotte on June 2, 2025. This change allows farms to operate without local noise restrictions during permitted hours.
