Steps
Fetch gc.nh.gov/rsa/html/lii/508/508-22.htm for the exact statutory text of RSA 508:22
Confirm the protection applies to a 'commercial applicator' certified under RSA 489-C:2, plus the applicator's employer/principal and the property owner/occupant/lessee who hired them
Confirm the protection requires implementation of best management practices jointly published by NH DOT and NH DES, and is void for gross negligence or reckless disregard
Cross-check des.nh.gov's Green SnowPro Certification page for how a commercial applicator actually becomes certified under RSA 489-C:2
Confirm the written-record requirement (deicer type/rate, treatment dates, weather conditions, kept 3 years) is a precondition for the liability protection, not optional documentation
Known gotchas
Certification alone is not sufficient — the 3-year written record requirement under RSA 508:22, II must also be met, or the liability protection is forfeited even for a certified applicator
The protection is rebuttable (a presumption of compliance), not absolute — gross negligence or reckless disregard defeats it
This is NH-specific law; do not extend it to other states without an equivalent enacted statute
