CONCORD, N.H. (AP) – New Hampshire legislative negotiators agree that officers of the Maine Marine Patrol should be able to make arrests anywhere in the Piscataqua River or Portsmouth Harbor.

A proposed bill, which must still be voted on by the House and the Senate, gives any member of the Maine Marine Patrol the authority to enter New Hampshire waters to investigate or arrest anyone they see as a potential terrorist threat.

The bill makes clear it does not address the dispute over exactly where the Maine and New Hampshire boundary lies.

The Maine Legislature has yet to grant similar authority to New Hampshire marine enforcement officials.
