HB 1304 New Hampshire House · 2026 Regular Session

requiring guide examinations to be administered by conservation officers.

HB 1304 requires that all written or oral examinations for individuals seeking guide licenses must be administered exclusively by conservation officers from the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department. This change directly affects people applying for guide licenses in hunting and fishing, as it replaces current exam administration procedures. The bill amends RSA 215:5 to specify that only conservation officers may conduct these examinations, removing previous options for other administrators. The provision takes effect 60 days after the bill is enacted.
