New license plates for amateur radio operators

Beginning 90 days after passage, New Hampshire creates an optional license plate program for amateur radio operators. The motor vehicle director must seek plate designs, and applicants must show Federal Communications Commission certification. Operators can display their call sign or request a standard plate with a lightning bolt instead. Plate numbers cannot be duplicated. The director may set separate fees for each type, with approval from the House and Senate Ways and Means committees. Plate-holder lists must be available to the state's emergency management division only for disaster or other public-safety contact and coordination. Other data remains protected. Plates give no special rights to use emergency lights, ignore traffic laws, or enter restricted areas without express direction from authorized public-safety personnel. The law provides no funding appropriation; its fiscal note estimates a $25,000 system setup cost in fiscal year 2027. Existing plate fees cover ongoing production costs.
