Official bill records confirm Gov. Kelly Ayotte signed New Hampshire's 0.4 milligram per-container hemp THC cap on July 2, resolving six weeks of uncertainty over Senate Bill 624's status ahead of its January 1, 2027 effective date.
NEW HAMPSHIRE, August 21, 2026: Gov. Kelly Ayotte signed Senate Bill 624 into law on July 2, according to the bill's official action history on LegiScan, setting a statewide cap of 0.4 milligrams of total THC per container for hemp-derived beverages and other consumables. The law, chaptered as 2026 Chapter 275, also creates offenses for criminal adulteration and distribution of adulterated products above that threshold. It takes effect January 1, 2027.
The signature had gone unconfirmed for weeks after the bill cleared the Legislature. LegiScan's summary status page showed only that SB 624 had completed its legislative progression, without a visible signature date, until its more detailed history table surfaced the July 2 entry this week. No New Hampshire Governor's office release naming the bill specifically has yet corroborated the record independently, and confirmation from a second state source remains an open item.
