Hello!

APA follows the Bluebook legal citation guide; that information is at the back of the APA Manual. If you are paraphrasing or quoting a specific section, be sure to cite the act with the specific section number. I would cite the section you used as:

New Hampshire Nurse Practice Act, N.H. Rev. Stat. § 326-B: 11 (2009).

If you are referring to the act as a whole, cite the entire act as:

New Hampshire Nurse Practice Act, N.H. Rev. Stat. § 326-B: 1-46 (2009).

No italics or retrieval information is needed since you went directly to the primary source, the State of New Hampshire.
