HB 414 New Hampshire House · 2026 Regular Session

prohibiting the division of motor vehicles from suspending a license on the basis of debt owed to a private entity related to the towing or storing of a motor vehicle.

HB 414 prohibits New Hampshire's Division of Motor Vehicles from suspending a driver's license due to unpaid fees from private towing or storage companies. It directly affects drivers who have had licenses suspended for such debts, requiring immediate reinstatement without a reinstatement fee. The bill mandates that the DMV must reinstate suspended licenses within 30 days of the law's effective date and allows drivers to renew licenses without paying a separate fee for the suspension. This change applies to all drivers affected by license suspensions related to vehicle towing or storage costs.
