HB 1200 New Hampshire House · 2026 Regular Session

relative to exemptions from vessel registration and boat fee decal.

This bill shortens the temporary exemption period for out-of-state vessels from 30 to 10 consecutive days. It requires boats registered in another state or country to obtain New Hampshire vessel registration and pay a fee if they use state waters for more than 10 days. The change directly affects recreational boaters who bring their vessels into New Hampshire from other states for short-term visits. The bill takes effect 60 days after passage.
