Here is the text of the bill: https://legiscan.com/NH/text/HB1045/id/3009358
In it, the part regarding exceptions reads: " III. Paragraph II shall not apply if:

(a) The main helm of the vessel is installed within an enclosed cabin.

(b) The vessel or outboard engine was manufactured prior to 2020 and was not equipped with an ECOS."

That last part ("...and was not equipped...") implies that even if the boat were manufactured prior to 2020, if it has the ECOS then it must be used.
