Signed by the Governor on 07/10/2026; Chapter 316; Effective 04/01/2027
Summary
The bill stops municipalities in New Hampshire from imposing maximum road‑length limits or numerical caps on housing lots on dead‑end streets, provided state fire‑code standards are met. It also requires towns to permit utilities such as septic systems, wells, and electric lines in subdivision open‑space or buffer areas that are not wetlands or protected shoreland. The goal is to reduce development costs and increase housing supply while preserving existing environmental protections.
