New Hampshire inspection changes

Track dated changes that affect drivers: fees, cadence, exemptions, station-locator policy, and sticker rules. Until a legislative/admin change is cited, treat the official program page as authoritative.

Changelog

2026-10-01 — FindSafetyStations baseline

Published the initial New Hampshire hub summarizing New Hampshire Vehicle Inspection Program (suspended) with citations (HB 2 (2025) repeal schedule, Saf-C 3200 (historical program rules)). No separate legislative change entry beyond that baseline yet.

What drivers should do: Confirm current rules on the official program page before registering or visiting a station.
