Bill > HB612

This bill addresses three distinct provisions: First, it enables the New Hampshire Division of Motor Vehicles to create a temporary traditional driver's license for youth operators who are about to turn 21, allowing them to receive their new license format up to 30 days before their 21st birthday, with the physical license delivered only on or after their birthday. Second, the bill requires employers who provide supplemental pay to employees receiving workers' compensation benefits to issue a detailed written notification to the employee within 30 days of injury and every 30 days thereafter, which must include a breakdown of payments, anticipated financial adjustments, employee withholding costs, and payment method options. Third, the bill designates the third week of September as New Hampshire Service Dog Week, recognizing the significant impact service dogs have on individuals with disabilities by enhancing their independence and mobility, and inviting the state to observe the week with appropriate ceremonies and activities. The bill will take effect at different times for each section, with the driver's license provision starting July 1, 2025, the workers' compensation provision taking effect 60 days after passage, and the remainder of the bill taking effect upon passage.
