HB 1320 New Hampshire House · 2024 Regular Session

relative to real property and flood risk disclosure.

HB 1320 requires real estate sellers or their agents in New Hampshire to provide buyers with written disclosures about specific environmental hazards before a property sale contract is finalized. The bill mandates that these notices cover risks related to radon, arsenic, lead, PFAS chemicals, and flooding, along with information on how to test for these issues and where to find further resources. While the law makes these disclosures mandatory, it explicitly states that failing to provide them does not invalidate the sale or create legal liability for the seller. The legislation also includes a contingency clause that adjusts its effective date depending on whether another related bill, HB 398, is passed by the legislature.
