repealing the license to sell pistols and revolvers and limiting liability for certain design features of firearms.

HB 551 repeals the requirement for a license to sell pistols and revolvers in New Hampshire. It also limits legal liability for firearm manufacturers regarding specific design features of these weapons. The bill directly affects gun sellers (who no longer need this license) and manufacturers (who face reduced liability for certain design aspects). The law became effective immediately upon Governor Ayotte's signature on May 23, 2025. This represents a change to licensing requirements and liability rules for pistol and revolver sales.
