This bill introduces provisions to allow surveillance at park and ride facilities under specific conditions. It amends RSA 236:130, III by adding new subparagraphs (i) and (j), which permit a private legal entity that is leasing or operating a park and ride facility on behalf of the department, and has an agreement with the state for at least five years, to conduct surveillance. This surveillance is for the safety of the premises and its users, and the private entity is not restricted by the surveillance parameters that apply to the department of transportation as outlined in subparagraph (g).

The bill also includes a contingency clause in section 258:3, stating that if HB 1217 from the 2024 legislative session becomes law, section 1 of this act will not take effect and section 2 will take effect 60 days after its passage. Conversely, if HB 1217 does not become law, section 1 will take effect 60 days after its passage and section 2 will not take effect. The effective dates for the different sections of the act are outlined in section 258:4, with sections 1 and 2 becoming effective as provided in section 3, and the remainder of the act taking effect on July 19, 2024.
