HB 1751 New Hampshire House · 2026 Regular Session

relative to a start park public safety parking surcharge.

HB 1751 establishes a 5% public safety surcharge on paid parking at New Hampshire state park facilities. The surcharge, collected through existing parking systems, funds a dedicated account that distributes quarterly revenues to the host municipalities based on each park's collected surcharge. These funds must be used solely for public safety services directly related to park visitation, such as police, fire, and emergency medical services. The bill creates a new revenue stream for local public safety without imposing new fees on visitors or creating new criminal penalties.
