On 06/26/2008, a new law titled SB 309 was enacted in New Hampshire. SB 309 is concerning the regulation of boxing, wrestling, mixed martial arts and kickboxing matches. The promoters of mixed martial arts and kickboxing events now must abide by the same bond requirements of boxing and wrestling promoters and post the same surety bond. The current law gives permission to the Boxing and Wrestling Commission to set the amount of the surety bond they require match promoters to post. SB 309 became active after it was enacted.

On 06/06/2008, a new law was enacted referred to as HB 1641 in the state of New Hampshire. HB 1641 was put in place concerning motor fuel distributors; it escalates the amount of the required surety bond for all motor fuel distributors from double the amount of the distributor’s monthly road toll liability to triple that amount. Existing law states that the surety bond cannot be less than $10,000, which HB 1641 does not alter. The new bill became active on the 1st of July, 2008.

In the state of New Hampshire a new law was put in place. The new law, HB 1351, states that off-highway recreational vehicle (OHRV) and snowmobile registration agents have the option of posting a surety bond when certain breaches of the agreement between the agent and the Fish and Game Department have been perpetrated. The surety bond can be obtained in lieu of the agreement being terminated when the infringement is related to the handling of state funds. The surety bond has to be issued by a state licensed surety and must guarantee the payment of all state funds collected accordingly of agent registrations issued for the state; a surety bond option already exists under current law for license agents who issue licenses, tags, stamps, permits for hunting/fishing.
