adjusting the minimum fine for attacks by nuisance dogs.

HB 670 adjusts the minimum fine amount for incidents involving dog attacks classified as "nuisance" behavior. The bill directly affects individuals or entities responsible for dog attacks that meet the legal definition of a nuisance, altering the baseline penalty. Key provisions modify the existing fine structure without changing the criteria for what constitutes a nuisance dog incident. The bill was signed into law by Governor Ayotte on July 15, 2025, and takes effect January 1, 2026. It does not introduce new enforcement mechanisms but sets a revised minimum financial penalty for qualifying attacks.
