This bill amends existing law to permit service providers to share individual customer data with authorized public safety officials from municipalities for the purpose of emergency coordination. Specifically, it modifies RSA 363:38, V(b) by inserting provisions that allow for such disclosures while ensuring that service providers maintain reasonable security measures to protect personal information. The bill also stipulates that any contracts entered into after January 1, 2017, must require third parties to implement these security practices and prohibits the use of the data for secondary commercial purposes without customer consent.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision that exempts the disclosure of customer data to municipal public safety officials from the requirements of RSA 91-A:5, IV, which typically governs public access to such information. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
