Maddy summaryThis bill requires all conservation officers in New Hampshire to wear body-worn cameras and mandates that these devices be used according to specific policies. It restricts who can access or alter the video footage, prohibiting editing, sharing, or using facial recognition technology except for identifying suspects in crimes. The law also sets rules for how long recordings must be kept, generally requiring destruction within 180 days unless the footage involves serious incidents like the use of deadly force, complaints filed against officers, or interactions with hunters and fishermen. Finally, the bill allows conservation officers to apply for grants from the Public Safety Enhancement Fund to help cover the costs associated with these cameras.
Maddy summaryThis bill establishes a patient's right to receive sterilization treatment in New Hampshire if they are at least 18 years old and request it. For patients with a medical condition where sterilization is advisable, doctors cannot refuse the procedure based on age, number of children, or assumptions about future reproductive desires, provided the patient signs an informed consent form. If a patient seeks sterilization unrelated to a medical condition, physicians must refer them to another doctor willing to perform the procedure and accept their payment method if they cannot do so themselves. The law also clarifies that patients who proceed with sterilization against medical advice generally cannot sue providers for being rendered sterile, except in cases of purposeful, reckless, or negligent conduct.
