The proposed bill, known as the "New Hampshire Private Lands Protection Act," establishes specific requirements for government agents regarding entry into secured premises without a warrant. It introduces a new section, RSA 595-A:11, which defines key terms such as "government agent," "probable cause," "secured premises," and "warrant." The bill stipulates that government agents cannot enter secured premises without a search warrant unless they have the property owner's consent or are responding to exigent circumstances, such as emergencies threatening public safety. Additionally, upon entry, agents must notify the property owner if possible and must present a warrant if they are not entering under consent or exigent circumstances.

The bill also emphasizes the inadmissibility of evidence obtained through searches or seizures conducted in violation of these provisions, rendering any resulting arrests invalid. It specifically exempts conservation officers and fish and game commission officers from these restrictions, allowing them to enforce laws related to wildlife. Furthermore, the bill clarifies that it does not limit the access of governmental or regulatory agencies to premises as provided by existing law. The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2026, and has a projected fiscal impact of less than $10,000 for the fiscal years 2025 through 2028.
