New Hampshire HB1614 restricts the sale and application of coal tar-based sealant products containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

New Hampshire HB1614 introduces a new chapter to amend RSA by adding restrictions on coal tar-based sealant products. Beginning January 1, 2027, the bill prohibits the wholesale or retail sale and application of coal tar sealant products on driveways or parking areas. Coal tar is defined as a substance obtained from the destructive distillation of coal, containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons exceeding 10,000 milligrams per kilogram. These hydrocarbons are byproducts of incomplete combustion and are considered hazardous substances.
