This bill amends current law regarding the requirements for obtaining a certificate of title for certain trailers. Specifically, it introduces an exemption for boat trailers that weigh over 3,001 pounds if their manufacturer's model year is more than 10 years old. This change is reflected in the amendment to RSA 261:3, I(j), which now includes this new exemption alongside existing provisions for trailers weighing less than 3,001 pounds.

Additionally, the bill allows individuals who own vehicles that are exempt from title requirements to voluntarily request a title. This provision is added as a new paragraph (III) to RSA 261:3, outlining the process for obtaining a voluntary title by submitting various forms of documentation, such as a current or expired New Hampshire certificate of registration or an out-of-state title. The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its passage, with an effective date of August 18, 2026.
