This bill amends RSA 21-P:69, IV to enhance the reporting requirements for the northern border alliance program. It mandates that the semi-annual report submitted to the governor, senate president, and speaker of the house of representatives must now include specific measurable program results and a detailed accounting of program funding and its uses. Notably, the bill introduces new requirements for reporting any grants provided to state, county, or local law enforcement agencies, detailing who received the grants, the timing, and the purpose of the funds.

Additionally, the report must include information on the personnel involved in the program, including their rank and title, as well as any equipment or technology purchased through the program. It also requires data on arrests, citations, and field stops, including the date, time, and location of related incidents, along with demographic information such as the municipality and country of residence for individuals involved. For those arrested or cited, the report must include racial demographics as indicated on relevant legal documents. The first report is due by December 31, 2023, and the act will take effect 60 days after its passage.
