The bill proposes an amendment to RSA 236:130, III, which pertains to the prohibition of highway surveillance, to allow surveillance at park and ride facilities under specific conditions. The amendment would insert two new subparagraphs (i) and (j), which permit a private legal entity that is leasing or operating a park and ride facility from the state for at least five years to conduct surveillance for the safety of the premises and its users. This surveillance by the private entity would not be subject to the same limitations that apply to the Department of Transportation as outlined in subparagraph (g).

The bill also includes a contingency clause stating that if HB 1217 from the 2024 regular legislative session becomes law, section 1 of this act will not take effect, and instead, section 2 will take effect 60 days after its passage. If HB 1217 does not become law, then section 1 will take effect 60 days after its passage, and section 2 will not take effect. The effective dates of the sections are contingent upon the passage of HB 1217, with the remainder of the act taking effect upon its passage.
