With a new year comes a host of new laws for New Hampshire

Beginning Jan. 1, people in New Hampshire may face new penalties if they post “No Trespassing” signs on land not their own. Owners of nuisance dogs that repeatedly bite will face higher fines. And the Division of Motor Vehicles must create a “blue envelope” program to allow drivers with autism spectrum disorder to obtain envelopes with information on how to best communicate with them if an officer pulls them over. The Legislature passed more than 300 bills in 2025, and Gov. Kelly Ayotte signed all but a few. While most of that legislation took effect shortly after Ayotte’s signature this summer, a number took effect on New Year’s Day.
