SB 503 (2026)

Mandate acceptance of NH-grown lumber in state building code

This bill is still active.

Last updated 2026-02-01 5:33 pm
Summary:

Mandates that the state building code accept New Hampshire-grown "spruce-pine-fir south" (SPFS) lumber wherever "spruce-pine-fir" (SPF) lumber is specified, provided it meets grading standards. This aims to remove technical barriers that currently disadvantage local sawmills compared to Canadian timber imports.
