HB 1626 New Hampshire House · 2024 Regular Session

relative to the repeal of certain designated funds and relative to the apportionment of dog license fees.

This bill modifies how dog license fees are collected and allocated in New Hampshire while repealing several older designated funds. It establishes a new $1.75 companion animal population control fee for dog owners, which must be deposited into a specific fund for animal neutering, and reduces the standard license fee to $1.75 for owners aged 65 or older who license only one dog. Additionally, the legislation redirects remaining money from the pesticides training program fund to the pesticides control fund and officially repeals multiple previous laws that created separate funds for items like body-worn camera equipment, emergency vehicle warning signs, and state heating system savings. These changes take effect on July 1, 2024, for the dog fee provisions, with the rest of the bill becoming active 60 days after passage.
