Maddy summaryThis bill, known as the New Hampshire Property Protection Act, would limit when government officials can enter private property without a court warrant. It defines "secured premises" as areas posted with signs, fences, or other barriers intended to keep intruders out and requires agents to obtain a warrant unless they have the property owner's permission or face an immediate life-threatening emergency. The law mandates that agents activate body cameras during entry, show warrants to owners if present, and prohibits seizing private property without a warrant or valid emergency justification. Furthermore, any evidence gathered or arrests made in violation of these rules would be considered invalid in court. The legislation specifically excludes conservation officers from these requirements, allowing them to continue enforcing wildlife laws on private land.

Maddy summaryThis bill increases the maximum expense deduction allowed against New Hampshire's business profits tax from $500,000 to $1,000,000 for qualifying property placed in service on or after January 1, 2025. The change applies to all businesses filing for taxable periods ending on or after December 31, 2024, allowing them to deduct a larger portion of their capital investments immediately rather than spreading the cost over several years. While the Department of Revenue Administration estimates this could reduce state revenue by up to $4.7 million, it notes that the actual financial impact is indeterminable because the bill may simply shift when businesses claim deductions rather than eliminate them entirely. The legislation requires the state to update its tax forms and electronic systems to reflect the new deduction limit.
