New Hampshire House Bill HB1503 will change the law for rider training effective July 2012. If passed, the bill will eliminate the state-run program (MREP) and turn over all training to private companies approved by the state. MREP trains about 2,500 people/year @$100 each. I believe the cost is subsidized by a charge on license renewals or registrations, but I'm not sure. The private schools train about 900 people/year at $220, $290, and $345 each.
Here's a link of the wording of the bill.
