HB 1536 New Hampshire House · 2026 Regular Session

establishing penalties for unauthorized parking in designated electric vehicle and motorcycle spaces.

HB 1536 prohibits non-electric vehicles and non-motorcycles from parking in spaces specifically marked for electric vehicles (for charging), mopeds, or motorcycles. It requires clear, visible signage meeting standard traffic sign requirements and imposes a $62 minimum fine for violations, with 20% of the fine going to the local town or city where the parking occurred. The law applies to all designated spaces on both public and private property, directly affecting drivers who park in these spots without authorization. This creates a consistent penalty structure to prioritize access for EVs and motorcycles in designated parking areas.
