This bill mandates the New Hampshire Attorney General to collect and publish specific information regarding the operations of federal agencies within the state. It introduces a new subdivision to RSA 7, titled "Federal Agency Reports," which requires the Attorney General to request quarterly aggregated and anonymized data from federal agencies involved in law enforcement or operational activities in New Hampshire. The data to be collected includes metrics such as the number of agency facilities, staff positions, completed surveillance operations, investigations, warrants executed, arrests, and refugee relocations. The bill emphasizes that all data must be published in an aggregated form to protect privacy and that only completed operations will be reported to avoid interference with ongoing activities.
Additionally, the Attorney General is tasked with maintaining a public website that displays a searchable database of the collected metrics and indicates which agencies provided data and which did not. The bill also requires the Attorney General to compile quarterly summaries of agency compliance and submit an annual report to the state-federal relations and veterans affairs committee detailing participation rates and recommendations for improvement. The bill does not provide funding or authorize new positions but anticipates a fiscal impact of approximately $230,750 in FY 2026, increasing slightly in subsequent years, to cover the costs associated with new staffing and operational needs. The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
