Well I don't know about NH, but Mass has had a long standing regulation that between Labor Day & Memorial Day anyone in a non motorized craft (canoe, rowboat, Kyak, etc) must WEAR a life jacket. Unlike this new NY law it doesn't include powercraft.
Again, here I think the consideration is the size of the available bodies of water. There is nothing even close to Winni (or Winnisquam for that matter) down here. The majority of the boats in the water after Cloumbus Day are eithor fisherman (powerboats) or canoes & Kyaks
