relative to false reports to law enforcement.

HB 109 amends New Hampshire law to elevate the penalty for knowingly making false reports to law enforcement from a standard misdemeanor to a class A misdemeanor. The bill specifically targets two actions: (1) providing false information to make police believe someone committed a crime, or (2) reporting a non-existent danger involving explosives or hazardous substances. This change directly affects individuals who intentionally deceive law enforcement officers, increasing potential penalties for such conduct. The law takes effect 60 days after passage.
