Maddy summaryHB 1445 requires New Hampshire to issue enhanced driver licenses and Real ID-compliant cards specifically for border crossings. It affects U.S. citizens who are New Hampshire residents and need to cross U.S. borders by land or sea. The bill amends state laws to mandate that the Department of Motor Vehicles provide these cards as proof of identity and citizenship for border entry. This would allow residents to use these cards instead of standard IDs when crossing borders, aligning with federal requirements.

Maddy summaryThis bill would allow municipalities to provide temporary shelter and aid to homeless individuals on public property without fear of being sued for negligence. It establishes a legal shield for government employees and units, stating they will not be held liable for injuries or damages occurring in designated homeless aid areas unless the harm was caused by intentional misconduct. Additionally, the bill exempts these government entities from standard landlord-tenant laws when operating such shelters. The legislation aims to encourage local governments to create homeless assistance programs by clarifying their legal protections regarding liability.
