relative to seed laws.

Section numbers converted from plain integers to RSA chapter format (1 became 182:1, 2 became 182:2, etc.) as part of the standard chaptering process.

Minor typo correction in the amended analysis: 'falsify' changed to 'falsifying.'

Approval date of June 19, 2026 and effective date of June 19, 2026 were added at the end of the document, confirming the bill was signed into law on that date.

All provisions creating escalating penalties for habitual offenders of seed, plant, nursery stock, and seed potato laws were removed. This included the 6-month selling ban, 1-year ban, and permanent location ban, as well as the authority for the commissioner to define 'habitual violation' by rule.

A new prohibition was added: seed shall not be sold more than 36 months from the production date. This is a hard expiration rule for all seed sales.

Relabeling stickers for resold seed must now include both the calendar month and year the germination test was completed, the sell by date (as stated in existing law), and the lot number that matches the original lot number.

The restriction that 'relabeling shall not occur more than once' was removed, meaning seed can now be relabeled multiple times as long as the sticker requirements are met.

Effective date changed from January 1, 2027 to upon passage of the act, making it take effect immediately rather than after a delay.

Header changed from 'As Amended by the Senate' to 'Version Adopted by Both Bodies,' reflecting that the bill completed the legislative process without further amendments.
