COVID-19 UPDATE

*** The State Police Marine Patrol Unit is pleased to announced the passing of Governor Sununu’s Emergency Order #29 in response to the challenges presented to perspective boaters by the COVID 19 pandemic. This emergency order waives the proctored exam requirement for all persons who have previously taken the NH Online Boating Safety Course. This rule also applies to those wishing to complete the online course during New Hampshire’s current State of Emergency.***

It seems like the answer is yes. Does anyone know for sure?
You can take an online course from any state that administers the NASBLA course. There are MANY... Even if you live in NH, you are allowed to take the online course from another State that does not do proctored exams and receive your boating certificate from them. Loophole yes, completely legal yes....
