August 18, 2026
This bill would exempt the title requirement of boat trailers that are over 10 years of age per manufacturer’s model year and with a gross weight of 3,001 pounds or higher.
The Department of Safety states there were 5,398 original titles issued in 2024 for boat trailers with a model year of 2000 to 2013.
Therefore, based on the application fee of $35, this bill would result a loss of revenue of $188,930, or approximately $190,000, per year.Also, pursuant to RSA 235:23 (“Apportionment A”), 12 percent of highway fund road toll and motor vehicle fee revenue collected is distributed to municipalities in the year following collection.
Therefore, this bill would also reduce state expenditures and local revenue by approximately $22,800 in FY 2028 and beyond.
Lastly, the Department states that any other potential decrease to state expenditures attributable to this bill (i.e., the cost for direct mailing of titles) would be immaterial (approximately $4,000 per year).
