New Hampshire HB1013 mandates best handling practices for pig capture contests at fairs.

New Hampshire HB1013 requires the Department of Agriculture, Markets, and Food to identify and publish best handling practices for contests involving the capture of pigs. These practices, to be published before the 2027 fair season, include guidelines for handling pigs during release and capture, supervision of contestants, training for supervisors, and provisions for transporting pigs. The commissioner must consult with livestock farmers, veterinarians, the state fair association, and the University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension.
