Allows a 180-day operation waiver for vehicles failing an emission control test in New Hampshire.

New Hampshire HB212 amends RSA 266:59-b, V to allow a 180-day waiver for vehicles that fail the EPA OBD II test but pass other inspection requirements. This waiver permits operation to make necessary repairs. The waiver is limited to one per inspection cycle. The Department of Transportation must adopt rules to establish broad waivers for consumers, considering recommendations from a legislative committee. The act aims to provide economic relief to those facing hardship from OBD II repairs. This act takes effect 60 days after passage.
