modifying the new resident drivers' license transfer requirements, specifying when the division of motor vehicles shall send violation notices, and appropriating funds to the division for technological upgrades required for legal compliance.
HB 133 requires new New Hampshire residents who hold out-of-state driver’s licenses to notify the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) within 60 days if they cease residency or if their out-of-state license expires or is surrendered. It also mandates the DMV to send violation notices to individuals who remain residents for over 90 days without obtaining a New Hampshire license, including both in-state and out-of-state addresses. The bill appropriates $40,000 from the General Fund to upgrade DMV technology for implementing these notification systems and information-sharing requirements with the voter registration database. This affects new residents who delay obtaining a NH driver’s license, ensuring compliance with residency-based licensing rules.
