HB 206 New Hampshire House · 2025 Regular Session

relative to government agent entries into secured premises.

HB 206 clarifies legal standards for government agents (like law enforcement) entering private property. It defines "secured premises" as privately-owned land that is posted, fenced, or otherwise marked to indicate exclusion of intruders. The bill also defines "probable cause" and specifies that warrantless entries into secured premises require individualized probable cause. This directly affects law enforcement procedures and property owners' rights regarding access to their premises. The bill focuses on refining existing legal definitions, not creating new policy.
