HB 506 New Hampshire House · 2025 Regular Session

relative to background checks during motions to return firearms and ammunition and relative to invalidating out-of-state driver's licenses issued to undocumented immigrants and relative to requiring schools to engage an owner's project manager for construction of school building aid projects at the time of application.

HB 506 combines three distinct provisions. It requires background checks when returning firearms and ammunition during court motions, affects individuals involved in firearm-related legal proceedings, and invalidates out-of-state driver's licenses issued to undocumented immigrants (remaining effective until September 30, 2025). Additionally, it mandates that schools hiring an owner's project manager for construction projects seeking building aid must do so at the time of application. The law takes effect January 1, 2026, for the background check provision, while the driver's license provision expires September 30, 2025.
