STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Twenty Four

AN ACT relative to the registration of title exempt vehicles without disclosure of personal information beyond name and address.

Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:

1 Registration of Certain Title Exempted Vehicles. Amend RSA 261:2-a to read as follows:

261:2-a Registration of Certain Title Exempted Vehicles. Notwithstanding the provisions of RSA 261:2 and RSA 261:148, no person shall register a motor vehicle exempted under RSA 261:3, I(k) in this state without first providing[ a previously issued, current or expired New Hampshire certificate of registration,] a valid New Hampshire or out-of-state certificate of title,[ an application for a certificate of title,] or a current New Hampshire vehicle identification number verification form as prescribed by the director. For the purposes of this section, a temporary registration issued pursuant to RSA 261:57 does not meet the requirement of a previously issued New Hampshire certificate of registration. The town or city clerk that issues the permit shall copy the bill of sale [and the New Hampshire certificate of registration] or the certificate of title for their records, but shall return the original bill of sale [and the New Hampshire certificate of registration] or the certificate of title to the person registering the vehicle upon issuing the permit. The town or city clerk must transmit the vehicle identification number verification form to the DMV on the date of registration. Any person who violates the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.

2 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.
