I think that is very open to interpretation. I am not sure how you could be charged with a violation if you kept the car in New Hampshire "often". Unless there is a legal definition of regularly it would be pretty hard to prove that you violated a vague law.

The dictionary says regularly means "occurring or doing something frequently enough over a period of time to establish a pattern, though not necessarily a strict one." I think that covers a lot of situations.

The other curious part of the new law is that they will require someone to have a vehicle "registered and insured in the state of the applicants residence". That is coming from New Hampshire, a state that does not require automobile insurance.

The final language is not what was initially submitted but it is what was approved by the House and signed by the Governor.

At least they improved on the old law.
