No, that's not what the Governor signed.
RSA 215-C:49 already required operators and passengers under 18 to wear head & eye protection for a number of years now.
What the Governor signed was an ammendment to this existing law that actually says the required head & eye protection must meet or exceed Federal standard FMVSS 218 (DOT certified).
Hope this clarifies the Governor's action.
