establishing the first-in-the-nation security task force to coordinate planning for presidential campaign events.

HB 1667 establishes New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation security task force to coordinate planning for presidential campaign events during the 2028 election cycle. The task force, chaired by the safety commissioner and including members from state agencies, universities, police associations, and both major political committees, must develop statewide security guidance that protects free speech while ensuring public safety. Key provisions require the task force to create coordination protocols for law enforcement, identify resource needs like communication tools, and produce a comprehensive security plan by September 2027. This bill directly affects all presidential campaign events in New Hampshire and requires reports to state leaders by 2026-2028, with minimal fiscal impact ($10,000/year).
