relative to title registration requirements for motorcycles.
HB 1430 exempts motorcycles with a model year more than 20 years old from requiring a certificate of title in New Hampshire. This applies to owners of older motorcycles, directly affecting them by removing a registration requirement. The bill takes effect January 1, 2027, and would reduce state title fees (estimated $60,000 annually) and related local revenue. The change aligns with current law updates and was supported by the Department of Safety, which noted approximately 1,700 motorcycles would be impacted annually.
