HB 146: relative to the use of body-worn cameras.

HB 146 amends New Hampshire law to clarify when law enforcement body-worn camera recordings must be retained. It explicitly adds "violation-level cases" to the list of legal scenarios requiring retention, alongside existing requirements like litigation, criminal cases, or court orders. This change directly affects police departments and law enforcement agencies that use body cameras, ensuring recordings are kept for all relevant legal proceedings. The bill specifies recordings must be retained only as long as legally required, without extending retention periods beyond current standards.

HB 749: requiring instruction on communism in public high schools.

HB 749 requires all public high schools to provide at least one hour of instruction on the nature and history of communism to students. This mandate, effective September 1, 2025, allows schools to deliver the content as a standalone lesson or integrate it into existing courses like history or civics. The bill directly affects public high school students and educators by adding this specific curriculum requirement to state education law (RSA 189:11). It does not specify teaching methods or content beyond the minimum hour requirement.

HB 55: relative to the Selective Service Compliance Act.

HB 55, titled the Selective Service Registration Awareness and Compliance Act, would have established that individuals aged 18 and older must be in compliance with the federal Military Selective Service Act to be eligible for employment by the state or any of its political subdivisions. Compliance could be demonstrated by authorizing the Department of Safety to submit information to the Selective Service System. The bill included exceptions for those whose registration requirement had terminated, those who had served in the military, or those with conditions precluding military service. However, these requirements would not have applied to state-supported higher education institutions or related financial aid decisions.

HB 210: establishing a commission to study the state flag and its history.

HB 210 establishes a 7-member commission to study New Hampshire's state flag. The commission includes three House members (with party balance), one Senate member, and representatives from the New Hampshire Historical Society and the New England Vexillological Association. It will review the flag's history, examine U.S. state flag design standards, and develop criteria for public submissions and a public hearing to narrow design options. The bill does not propose changing the flag but creates a structured process for potential future consideration. This is a procedural bill focused on gathering information, not implementing policy changes.

HB 195: relative to the expectation of privacy in the collection and use of personal information.

HB 195 establishes new protections for personal information held by third-party service providers (such as phone companies, banks, social media platforms, and internet providers). It requires these companies to obtain explicit, affirmative consent from users before disclosing non-public personal information (like names, SSNs, location data, or biometrics), except in specific circumstances like emergencies, crime prevention, legal requests, or to provide a requested service. The bill defines "personal information" broadly and mandates clear, separate consent procedures requiring users to actively "opt in" rather than passively accepting terms. This directly affects how companies collect and share user data, aiming to strengthen privacy expectations for individuals.
