Remember: our voice at the State House is only as loud as yours at home, and our motto is to support those who support us. Republican Majority Leader Jason Osborne led the charge in the House, driving its refusal to compromise and ensuring the repeal was embraced without hesitation. In doing so, lawmakers dismantled a proven safety mechanism that has protected New Hampshire’s roads for generations. NHADA worked in good faith. We engaged stakeholders, developed meaningful reforms and fought for a balanced outcome that served both consumer interests and public safety. What we witnessed instead was a breakdown in negotiation, led by elected officials who disregarded facts and data and chose political ideology over responsibility. The decision to eliminate the vehicle inspection program — driven by backroom politics in the final moments — was not rooted in data, safety or compromise. It was a betrayal of public trust and a dangerous gamble with lives on the road. The change takes effect in 2026. As we learn more and assess how this may impact your operations, rest assured, we will work closely with our partners to provide clear guidance every step of the way.
