HB1445: Representative Eric Johnson, Strafford 11 (Lee, Madbury, Dover Ward 4) Support00:10:07.519 - 9:06:07 AM; Introduced HB 1445 to mandate the DMV to offer enhanced driver's licenses, which include a chip for efficient land and sea border crossings, are Real ID compliant, and indicate U.S. citizenship. Explained that five states (Vermont, Michigan, New York, Minnesota, Washington) already offer them. Noted existing statute allows it but DMV has not implemented due to lack of forcing language; the bill adds 'shall' to require action.
HB1445: John Morasco and Jen Bailey, New Hampshire Department of Motor Vehicles Information Only00:12:05.680 - 9:08:05 AM; Provided informational testimony on HB 1445. Explained that enhanced driver's licenses are authorized under RSA 263:14C but not implemented due to technology and cost issues. Vendor can produce them with RFID chip for border efficiency, but production costs $163,000 for design and $400,000 for system changes, plus unquoted RFID testing. Discussed past failed attempts due to chip recognition issues. Noted higher demand in border-heavy states; in NH, low expected uptake given small Canada border and no public demand. Fee would be $80 ($20 over Real ID), projecting $156,000 annual revenue at 1-2% adoption, insufficient to cover startup costs. Prefer in-state production but offsite may be needed for cost-effectiveness, resulting in black-and-white laser-engraved cards differing from current licenses. Confirmed use for land/sea only, not air travel or international beyond borders.
HB1452: Representative Henry Gon, Hillsboro 29th District Support00:31:06.240 - 9:27:06 AM; Briefly introduced HB 1452FN as allowing parent-taught driver's education as an alternative to traditional programs. Declined questions.
HB1452: Mike Ducet, Precision Driving School, Littleton, NH; and Tom Praal, New Hampshire Driver Education Teachers Association Oppose00:32:09.200 - 9:28:09 AM; Opposed HB 1452FN, emphasizing the rigorous standards for certified instructors who undergo college courses, DMV tests, and a year of supervised teaching. Argued that assuming any licensed driver can teach teens safely is flawed, as parents lack equivalent expertise. Highlighted driver education's critical role in safety, citing studies showing trained teens have fewer citations and crashes (e.g., Nebraska 2015 study: home-trained 75% more citations, 24% more fatal crashes). Noted Washington's recent mandate for under-22 driver ed and NH's effective program per NHTSA 2021 study. Raised concerns about bill's vagueness on 'equivalency,' lack of standards for topics like motorcycle/truck awareness, and allowing 18-year-olds to teach. Stressed parent involvement challenges and that current law requires 40 supervised hours, but enforcement is hard. Association has improved access via scholarships and DMV collaboration.
HB1452: Aubrey Freriedman, Bridgewater, private citizen Support00:43:23.680 - 9:39:23 AM; Supported HB 1452FN as adding an option for families, not replacing existing programs. Noted high costs of private schools ($450-$600) and limited public school availability, forcing waits until age 18. Argued safety is ensured by the DMV road test; poor parental teaching would result in failure. Dismissed fiscal note's need for extra lawyer ($140,000/year) as unnecessary; a simple certification form suffices, and parents have incentive to teach well to avoid accidents.
HB1452: Lindseay Nato, representing AAA Northern New England Oppose00:45:38.720 - 9:41:38 AM; Lindseay Nato, an attorney at Orr & Reno representing AAA Northern New England, opposes the bill for safety reasons, citing concerns similar to those raised by previous speakers Mr. Ducet and Mr. Prazel. She references a Texas study on the dangers of parent-taught driver's education, as detailed in Mr. Goodman's letter being distributed to the committee.
HB1452: John Morasco and Sam Bisson, New Hampshire Department of Motor Vehicles Information Only00:46:43.359 - 9:42:43 AM; John Morasco, Director of the DMV, and Sam Bisson, Driver Education Coordinator, provide information on the health of the driver's education industry in New Hampshire. They highlight improvements over the last four years, including reduced wait times, geographic accessibility with 107 locations across 61 schools, efforts to control costs, and the success of the driver's education scholarship fund, which has received strong interest and is expected to expand in 2026. They note initiatives to recruit and certify instructors, with 46 new ones certified since November 2025, and monthly meetings with schools showing positive industry trends. Morasco emphasizes the importance of formal driver's education, citing an 82% knowledge test passage rate for those who complete it versus 59% for those who do not. Bisson adds details on the 59 private and 2 public schools, 248 instructors, streamlined certification processes, and that driver's ed serves as a minimum standard, allowing additional parental training. They address questions on trends in delayed licensing, the fiscal note (which they did not produce), instructor diversity and retention, scholarship funding primarily from the New Car Dealers Association with school matches, and the program's demand exceeding available funds.
HB1466: Representative Tom Walsh, Merrimack District 10 (Hooksett and Dunbarton) Support01:01:24.480 - 9:57:24 AM; Representative Tom Walsh, prime sponsor, introduces HB 1466 to remove the titling requirement for trailers over 3,000 pounds or 10 years old, originally focused on boat trailers but expanded to all trailers for fairness. He notes the issue arose at an event with the New Hampshire Marine Trades Association regarding older, unused trailers with lost titles that hinder sales or transfers. He proposes forming a subcommittee to address multiple titling bills this session and declines questions to stay on schedule.
HB1466: Joan Dargy, Milford, representing New Hampshire City and Town Clerks Association Oppose01:03:34.880 - 9:59:34 AM; Joan Dargy, town clerk in Milford and past president of the New Hampshire City and Town Clerks Association, opposes the bill as written because it would affect all trailers, leading to more registrations in Maine to avoid New Hampshire's titling requirements, especially for commercial trailers like semis and flatbeds. She supports the bill if limited to boat trailers, which are a small percentage, rarely used on roads after boats are stored at marinas, and do not contribute to road wear.
HB1466: Jody Grimbleis, John Wally, and Maggie Sullivan, representing New Hampshire Marine Trades Association Support01:05:49.119 - 10:01:49 AM; Jody Grimbleis introduces the group supporting HB 1466 to exempt trailers over 10 years old from titling, addressing administrative burdens for older boat trailers with lost documentation. John Wally, GM of Silver Sands Marina and NHMTA President, explains challenges in trading or selling boats with untitled trailers, as manufacturers may no longer exist, rendering trailers valueless and immovable across states; he notes low theft risk due to trailers' specificity to boats. Maggie Sullivan adds that marinas store 50-75 trailers off-road in winter, which become problematic only upon sale. They emphasize New Hampshire does not title boats or under-3,000-pound trailers, propose subcommittee collaboration for revenue-neutral solutions, and address questions on fraud (minimal for boat trailers), trailer sizes (based on capacity, often for larger boats), registration rates (about 50% unregistered), and secondary market theft (rare).
HB1466: Jennifer Gornert, Title Bureau Administrator, New Hampshire DMV Information Only01:12:52.159 - 10:08:52 AM; Jennifer Gornert provides information on fraud risks if titling requirements are removed for trailers over 3,000 pounds GVWR or 10 years old, as it would hinder tracking ownership, brands (e.g., flood or accident damage), and VINs, which are not covered by databases like Carfax or NMVTIS. She notes trailers' uniqueness, ease of VIN tampering, and that even small trailers can carry heavy loads. She agrees limiting to boat trailers would reduce but not eliminate fraud risks, as some are stolen and repurposed. In response to questions, she explains titles are delivered to owners per law (or lienholders), with duplicates available if lost, and DMV retains copies for legal purposes.
HB1536: Representative Seth Miller, Stratford 21, Dover Support01:20:35.120 - 10:16:35 AM; Representative Miller introduced the bill as a redo from last year, developed with Representative Geison. He explained that the bill allows business and property owners to protect their investments in dedicated parking spaces for specific vehicle types, such as EVs or motorcycles, ensuring those spaces are available for intended users and not usurped by others. He emphasized that it's not specifically about EVs or motorcycles but about enabling enforcement to support customer promises.
HB1536: Jessica Wilcox, New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services Information Only01:22:26.880 - 10:18:26 AM; Jessica Wilcox provided data on electric vehicles (EVs) in New Hampshire, noting that transportation is the largest source of emissions and EVs produce no tailpipe emissions. As of Q4 2025, there are over 25,000 EVs registered, about 2% of the light-duty fleet, with a 418% growth since 2020. New Hampshire has only 218 EV charging addresses compared to neighboring states with more. Studies show 37% of EV drivers complain about being blocked from spots, and access to charging boosts local business revenue by up to 3.2%. Current law RSA 236:134 prohibits unauthorized parking but lacks enforcement, which this bill provides, similar to other states.
HB1492: Representative Peter Leechman, Hillsboro 33, Peterborough and Sharon Support01:30:15.040 - 10:26:15 AM; Representative Leechman introduced the bill, highlighting exorbitant towing charges, such as a $28,000 bill for towing a truck with a flat tire from Bedford to Milford. He noted no regulation allows operators to charge freely and suggested extending the appeal period from 15 to 60 days to the Department of Safety for hearings on reasonable fees. He recommended the legislature set fees rather than the department and require notices on invoices about the appeal process. Commissioner Quinn supports legislative fee establishment.
HB1492: Roy Schwacker, Concord Support01:36:53.920 - 10:32:53 AM; Roy Schwacker supported the bill but noted gaps, like excluding storage fees and limiting to state highways; he suggested broader application including private property. He shared examples: a car towed from Franconia Notch without choice due to rotation; a dazed driver after hitting a tree towed three towns away to another state instead of home, costing a paycheck; and an uninsured hit causing a car to be towed to an impound yard, accruing fees until lost. He recommended allowing insurance choice of tow company and location, requiring credit card acceptance, and including storage fees, which exceed airport parking.
HB1492: Bob Scully, New Hampshire Motor Transport Association Support01:41:46.719 - 10:37:46 AM; Bob Scully supported the bill, citing cyclic complaints of predatory towing. Past efforts to set rates failed. He recommended extending the 15-day appeal period for out-of-state truckers, requiring invoices to notify of appeal rights, itemized invoices, and cargo release requirements. For commercial vehicles, if not a hazard, owners choose the tower; otherwise, rotation is used. He distributed testimony, an invoice example, and a 50-page report from the American Trucking Associations, offering to work on a subcommittee for rate schedules.
HB1492: Eddie Edwards, Assistant Commissioner, Department of Safety Information Only01:45:13.840 - 10:41:13 AM; Eddie Edwards, with Captain Matt Amatui from NH State Police, provides neutral information on HB 1492. He notes the Department of Safety is not a commerce agency but a criminal and regulatory enforcement organization, and the bill would require regulating commerce without resources or additional staff. Challenges include varying fees by region, maintenance, fuel, and operating costs for different sized towing companies.
HB1492: Captain Matt Amatui, NH State Police Information Only01:46:52.480 - 10:42:52 AM; Captain Amatui provides operational details on towing. NH State Police average 6,000 tows per year. Current appeals under RSA 262:35A require payment first, then a 15-day window to request a hearing. Over eight years, there were 46 hearing requests for unreasonable fees, with low success rates; most fees deemed reasonable or cases withdrawn. He answers committee questions on appeals process, success rates, and fee schedules from tow companies.
HB1533: Representative Boris, Chester Support03:07:01.920 - 12:03:01 PM; Representative Boris sponsors HB 1533, sharing personal experiences with high-speed e-bikes, including a 15-year-old reaching 61 mph on a dirt road and incidents in Laconia. He highlights safety risks, including fatalities on I-93, and proposes age restrictions under 16, learner's permits to teach road rules, and registration for accountability. Open to amendments like adding tail lights.
HB1533: Dave Topham, BikeWalk Alliance of New Hampshire, Salem Oppose03:19:42.080 - 12:15:42 PM; Dave Topham opposes HB 1533, noting he helped establish e-bike classes 1-3 in 2018 via HB 148. He argues the issue is misclassified electric motorcycles with pedals, not true e-bikes, sold without registration or insurance. Prefers HB 1410's approach with minor amendments and suggests a study committee for nationwide education and solutions.
HB1533: Representative Gould Oppose03:23:09.690 - 12:19:09 PM; Representative Gould opposes HB 1533, though the card indicates opposition, her brief testimony aligns with support for related bills; she notes a grammatical issue in another bill but defers to others.
HB1533: Captain Michael Eastman, NH Fish and Game Oppose03:23:09.690 - 12:19:09 PM; Captain Eastman opposes HB 1533 on behalf of the Fish and Game Commission due to contradictions with OHRV definitions in RSA 259:27A, removal of pedal requirements, and exemptions that could allow off-road use without proper classification. Suggests classifying devices better to support accessibility for disabled users while addressing enforcement and funding for trails.
HB1410: Representative Tom Walsh, Merrimack 10 (Hooksett and Dunbarton) Support03:30:44.720 - 12:26:44 PM; Representative Walsh introduces HB 1410, developed by Department of Safety after six years of discussion on non-traditional vehicles. Aims to address e-bikes and other devices; proposes subcommittee with HB 1533 for compromises before February 12 deadline, avoiding another study.
HB1410: Representative Linda Gould Support03:30:44.720 - 12:26:44 PM; Representative Gould supports HB 1410 and requests a grammatical change from 'output of 750 watts or greater' to 'greater than 750 watts' to protect true e-bikes. Defers to other departments for details.
HB1410: Dave Topham, BikeWalk Alliance of New Hampshire, Salem Support03:33:49.920 - 12:29:49 PM; Dave Topham supports HB 1410, developed with Department of Safety, emphasizing safety for users and public, enforceable rules, and training for under-16 riders. Suggests minor amendment to wattage wording and shares handouts on vehicle classifications, noting technology outpaces legislation.
HB1410: Captain Michael Eastman, NH Fish and Game Oppose03:40:03.760 - 12:36:03 PM; Captain Eastman opposes HB 1410 due to language allowing operation on public lands, muddying OHRV rules. Distinguishes pedal-assist e-bikes from high-powered devices like Sur-Rons, which should be OHRVs requiring training. Answers questions on classification, enforcement, and education efforts.
HB1410: Lieutenant Christopher Storm, NH Office of Highway Safety Support03:49:10.479 - 12:45:10 PM; Lieutenant Storm supports HB 1410 to close loopholes for out-of-class electric vehicles misrepresented as e-bikes, posing risks on roads and trails. Shares anecdotes of pursuits and crashes; notes inability to charge DWIs or habitual offenders currently. Agrees with removing public lands provision and explains why these aren't motorcycles/mopeds due to certification and equipment lacks.
HB1594: Representative Seth Miller, Stratford 21 (Dover) Information Only03:59:41.760 - 12:55:41 PM; Representative Miller introduced HB 1594 FN, explaining it originated from a constituent's experience registering an e-bike and facing a $100 fee under current law for any electric vehicle. The bill proposes a weight-based tiered registration fee to make it more equitable: vehicles under 2,000 lbs pay $25, most battery electrics pay $100, heavier ones over 5,000 lbs pay more to account for road wear, and neighborhood electric vehicles, mopeds, or low-speed scooters pay no fee due to limited impact. This aims to offset lost gas tax revenue while encouraging responsible registration without penalizing lighter vehicles.
HB1594: Jennifer Olri, Department of Motor Vehicles Information Only04:03:32.800 - 12:59:32 PM; Jennifer Olri provided clarifying information without taking a position. She noted the bill uses unladen weight for fees, while NH vehicles are registered by gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), including capacity. This might require system updates to pull unladen weight data from manufacturers, potentially creating a new category, but not costing a ton of money. The exact technology challenges are unknown.
HB1594: Dave Topham, BikeWalk Alliance of NH (Salem) Information Only04:06:46.880 - 1:02:46 PM; Dave Topham sought clarification on whether HB 1594 applies to class 1, 2, 3 e-bikes, given the bill's mention of neighborhood electric vehicles and low-speed scooters. He noted e-bikes are used for transportation beyond driveways and appreciated the bill's equitable approach.
HB1682: Unnamed Representative (Prime Sponsor) Information Only04:10:01.520 - 1:06:01 PM; The prime sponsor introduced HB 1682 FN, providing a handout that needs clarification due to a misunderstanding of the constituent's story. The bill was introduced at the request of Leaf Johnson from Lebanon, who is present to speak. It addresses registering small battery-operated motorcycles, as Johnson faced a $100 fee when trying to register his for town errands, similar to the recent electric vehicle fee not accounting for differences between heavy vehicles and small motorcycles.
HB1682: Unnamed Representative (Prime Sponsor) Support04:12:31.920 - 1:08:31 PM; The speaker discusses the complexities of regulating lightweight electric vehicles, including weight differentials and oversight for small vehicles not allowed on highways. He explains using dry weight as a standard, noting weights from 100-200 lbs for small off-road electric motorcycles to over 900 lbs for heavier models. For street-ready electric cars, weights range from 200-300 lbs to 8,600 lbs. He proposes $20 annual registration fees for municipal road use for vehicles under 400 lbs and $30 for public roads other than highways for those between 400 and 1,000 lbs, paid to the resident's municipality. He mentions his Hyundai weighs 2,000 lbs, suggesting adjustments, and highlights the need for oversight of small electric vehicles causing damages on trails and roads. He urges favorable action on the bill, possibly with amendments for startup costs and administration fees, clarifying that fees should go to municipalities, not just the highway fund.
HB1682: Representative Hemblem Information Only04:19:36.880 - 1:15:36 PM; Representative Hemblem questions the sponsor about similarities between this bill and a previous one, noting differences in scope such as weight thresholds for battery-operated vehicles and how it applies to motorcycles versus cars. He discusses disposition to pay less based on weight and emphasizes that this bill addresses small electric motorcycles for municipal and back road use, suggesting the bills target different aspects but should be considered together.
HB1682: Representative Kam Blondon Information Only04:22:14.399 - 1:18:14 PM; Representative Kam Blondon asks for clarification on the difference between municipal roads and public roads in the context of registration fees. The sponsor explains that all roads within municipalities are public, and there is no distinct category between state and town roads, with oversight by local police or state troopers.
HB1682: Unnamed Representative Information Only04:23:50.239 - 1:19:50 PM; An unnamed representative questions the visibility of registration for law enforcement purposes, such as license plates on vehicles. The sponsor refers to the fiscal note mentioning a sticker but is unsure of its placement.
HB1682: Leaf Johnson, representing himself Support04:25:06.319 - 1:21:06 PM; Leaf Johnson supports the bill, sharing his experience converting a Honda XR250 dual-sport motorcycle to electric power before the EV surcharge was implemented. He describes registering it as a motor vehicle, facing a $100 surcharge plus $26 fee, which he finds disproportionate given the lower mileage and road impact of motorcycles compared to gas vehicles. He advocates for a tiered system based on vehicle class for electric surcharges, clarifying this applies to registered motor vehicles, not electric bicycles. He offers photos of his vehicle and others for reference. During questioning, he confirms the bike's full motorcycle features like lights and mirrors, and provides details on the 72-volt, approximately 10-kilowatt electric motor.
HB1682: Dave Tottman, Bike Walk Alliance of New Hampshire, from Salem Oppose04:31:11.279 - 1:27:11 PM; Dave Tottman opposes the bill initially due to concerns it would require registration for e-bikes exceeding 15 mph, but upon clarification that it does not apply to e-bikes, he adjusts his stance. He highlights public confusion over the $50 surcharge for plug-in hybrids and $100 for full EVs, arguing that small vehicles like electric scooters and mopeds should not face the $100 charge given their minimal road wear. He references a case of an electric scooter charged $100 and supports eliminating such charges for these categories.
HB1682: Jennifer Olri, DMV Information Only04:34:25.278 - 1:30:25 PM; Jennifer Olri from the DMV is introduced but provides no testimony in the transcript.
HB1682: Jennifer Olirri, DMV Registration Bureau Administrator Information Only04:34:38.879 - 1:30:38 PM; Jennifer Olirri explains that the bill's language in proposed 1A regarding motorized electric vehicles, including similar devices, could open registration to items like electric unicycles that may not qualify for road use due to lack of clear definitions. She clarifies that off-road motorcycles like the Honda XR can be dual-use, meeting highway safety standards (FMVSS) and registered accordingly for on-road or off-road purposes. She notes that vehicles can be modified with lights, mirrors, etc., inspected, and reclassified for road use. During Q&A, she confirms vehicles are classified by GVWR, not dry weight, and changing power source (e.g., gas to electric) does not alter vehicle classification or titling, only the fuel type in the system.
HB1354: Representative Hamlin Oppose04:52:58.240 - 1:48:58 PM; Moves inexpedient to legislate, noting the bill authorizes only a decal, unlike HB 1483 which provides embossed plates with call letters, preferred by radio operators.

HB1350 0151h: Representative Gison Support05:01:46.240 - 1:57:46 PM; Moves not to pass to propose amendment 0151h, which reverts to prior law, strikes the 'original or restored condition' clause, and replaces 'not intended for daily use' with 'not maintained for primary transportation usage' for clarity. Notes it does not expand eligibility, negating fiscal concerns.
HB1350 0151h: Representative Miller Support05:03:49.040 - 1:59:49 PM; Supports the amendment for fixing the fire apparatus clause and addressing primary transportation language, though with slight concerns.
HB1350 0151h: Representative Biller Oppose05:04:43.840 - 2:00:43 PM; Opposes ought to pass due to significant fiscal note impact on revenue; suggests alternatives like Connecticut's 80% registration fee model, which was rejected in testimony.
HB1350 0151h: Committee Chair Information Only05:06:35.200 - 2:02:35 PM; Notes the amendment negates the fiscal note as it doesn't expand availability; suggests revised fiscal analysis possible later in process.
