HB 1304 (2024)

Modifies the procedure for registration of vessels by requiring a boat fee decal for the payment of boat fees. According to the Department of Safety, traditionally boating fees have been collected at the time of registration. However, the Department states due to a Coast Guard audit finding, boating fees can no longer be collected at time of registration. This new method of boat fee collection will require a new, yearly decal, to accompany the current registration decal, thus requiring each boat registered in NH to display two (2) separate decals.
