I seems odd to me that if you are a local you must go to a proctored test, but if you are from out of state then you can use your own states certificate which may not necessarily be equivalent in its training and testing requirements. Also the idea that the Coast Guard classes are not sufficient/appropriate but other states certificates are seems like an problem to me.
One would think it reasonable to continue to recognize other states certificates and also recognize the Coast Guard certificate (as we do with auto drivers licenses) as well as to drop the proctored test requirement as it is not required elsewhere. Then you would have a process that is fair and equal.

Where did you get the idea that the Coast Guard Certificate is not accepted?
From the Boater Education Site:
New Hampshire accepts the following boating education certificates:
1. A boating certificate issued by another State agency and NASBLA approved.
2. A boating certificate issued by the US Power Squadron.
3. A boating certificate issued by the US Coast Guard Auxiliary.
4. An unexpired commercial boating license issued by the US Coast Guard.
5. An unexpired commercial boating license issued by the State of New Hampshire.
