HB 640 New Hampshire House · 2026 Regular Session

relative to the transparency of federal agency operations within New Hampshire.

HB 640 requires New Hampshire's Attorney General to request and publish aggregated, anonymized data from federal agencies operating in the state, covering metrics like staffing levels, surveillance operations, investigations involving residents, and arrests. The bill mandates a public website displaying this data in a searchable format, showing which agencies voluntarily provided information and which did not, along with quarterly summaries for transparency. The Attorney General must also submit an annual report to the legislature on participation rates and effectiveness, with the state covering costs through new staff positions starting in 2025. This bill directly affects the Attorney General's office and federal agencies in New Hampshire, aiming to increase transparency without compelling federal data sharing.
