In their wordsVerbatim, exactly as submitted

“I am submitting testimony in support of HB 1833. HB 1833 creates a narrowly tailored, temporary non-resident tuna license for vessel operators who are registered participants in organized tuna tournaments operating out of New Hampshire waters.…”
— State Rep Nicholas Bridle, Hamptonsupports
“It’s good for local tournaments out of Seabrook/Hampton. Encourages the tournament to be more successful and attract fisherman from Maine and Mass. I think it’s a positive thing. Trying to keep the tournament alive for New Hampshire fisheries and tourism.”
— Derek Fisher, Hamptonsupports
