This bill amends existing law to establish that violating the privacy of a minor is a class B felony when the perpetrator knows or should reasonably know that the individual whose privacy is being invaded is a child under the age of 18. The bill specifies that this applies to violations of paragraphs I, III-a, or IV of RSA 644:9, which pertain to privacy breaches. Furthermore, if a person is convicted of such a violation for a second or subsequent time, the offense is elevated to a class A felony. This includes cases where the individual has prior convictions for the same or a reasonably equivalent offense in another jurisdiction.

The bill has been approved on June 14, 2024, and is set to take effect 30 days after its passage, which will be on July 14, 2024. There are no specific insertions or deletions from the current law mentioned in the provided text, but the bill introduces a new paragraph (VII) to RSA 644:9 to address the criminal penalty for privacy violations involving minors.
