What makes New Hampshire different?
New Hampshire combines relatively low thresholds with an explicit, strong consent definition and a post-2025 discretionary cure regime rather than a permanent mandatory cure right.
Developments to watch
Since January 1, 2026, the Attorney General may decide whether to offer a cure opportunity based on statutory factors.
Editorial rule: future-effective, proposed and pending measures are kept separate from current law.
