NH HB1780

Establishes escalating penalties for "habitual offenders" who violate New Hampshire laws governing the sale of seeds, certified plants, seed potatoes, and nursery stock

First habitual violation triggers a 6-month sales ban at the location where the violation occurred

Selling during the 6-month ban extends the prohibition to one year; selling during the one-year ban results in a permanent sales ban at that location

Directs the Commissioner of the Department of Agriculture, Markets, and Food to define "habitual violation" through administrative rulemaking under RSA 541-A

Effective date: January 1, 2027
