This bill establishes a new offense known as "doxing," defined as the intentional publication of another person's personal identifying information without their consent, with the intent to threaten, intimidate, harass, or cause substantial emotional distress or physical harm to that individual or their immediate family. The bill introduces a new chapter, Chapter 644-B, to the Revised Statutes Annotated (RSA), which includes definitions of key terms such as "personal identifying information," "publication," and "pattern of harassment." The prohibited conduct under this chapter includes recklessly publishing such information in a manner that creates a reasonable fear of harm or results in actual harm. Exceptions to this offense include information published with consent, information from public records, and constitutionally protected speech.

The bill also outlines penalties for doxing, categorizing it as a class A misdemeanor, with escalated penalties to a class B felony if the act results in physical harm, economic loss exceeding $1,000, or is part of a pattern of harassment. Additionally, it allows individuals aggrieved by doxing to bring civil actions against violators, with potential remedies including actual damages, punitive damages, injunctive relief, and attorney's fees. The attorney general is also empowered to enforce this chapter and seek civil penalties. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
