New State Laws


The State Legislature has recently passed several bills that have become law and are now in full effect.

New Laws include SB416 and HB 1137. SB 416 clarifies the state minimum hourly wage applicable to tipped restaurant employees under R.S.A. 284:1 et. seq.

Additionally, HB1137 will allow an employer to withhold wages relating to legal plans and identity theft plans without financial advantage to the employer when the employee has given written authorization and the deductions are duly recorded, under R.S.A.
