Summary
The bill lets softwood harvested north of 44° N in New Hampshire be classified as spruce‑pine‑fir if it meets standard grading criteria. It also requires state‑funded construction to favor locally harvested lumber unless design needs dictate otherwise. The changes aim to boost the local timber industry and keep more wood money in‑state.
