This bill proposes the repeal of the temporary registration fee for nonresidents using off-highway recreation vehicles (OHRVs), specifically removing the provisions outlined in RSA 215-A:23, V-b, and RSA 215-A:23, VIII-a. The temporary registration fee, currently set at $34, will no longer be applicable, and all nonresidents will be required to pay the standard registration fee, which ranges from $61 to $100 depending on the type of OHRV and membership status in a New Hampshire nonprofit OHRV club. The bill is set to take effect on May 1, 2027.

The fiscal impact of this bill is projected to increase revenue for the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources (DNCR) by up to $144,320 annually and for the Fish and Game Department by up to $66,880 annually, as it is anticipated that many individuals who previously opted for temporary registrations will instead purchase full registrations. Additionally, the bill eliminates the discretionary use of up to $25,000 in funds for collaboration with local law enforcement on OHRV law enforcement, although this is not expected to affect overall revenue from registration fees or the Department's enforcement capabilities.
