This bill introduces a new felony-level offense under RSA 104, specifically creating a section titled "104:28-b Unsupported Claim of Authority." The legislation criminalizes the act of an individual knowingly claiming to be a law enforcement officer from any state or federal agency while not in uniform and unable to provide official identification upon request. If convicted, such an individual would face a class B felony charge. However, the bill includes a provision that exempts law enforcement officers who are engaged in legitimate pre-approved undercover activities from this offense.

The bill's effective date is set for July 1, 2025. It does not anticipate any revenue generation but acknowledges indeterminable expenditures for the state, counties, and local governments due to potential impacts on the judicial and correctional systems. The bill modifies existing law by adding this new section while not explicitly deleting any current legal language.
