This bill amends New Hampshire's Data Privacy Law (RSA 507-H) by adding a new subparagraph that explicitly prohibits the sale of location and other sensitive data regarding children. The new legal language inserted into the law is found in RSA 507-H:6, I, where a new subparagraph (e-1) is added to state that entities must not sell such data. This prohibition aims to enhance the protection of children's privacy and sensitive information in the digital landscape.

The bill is set to take effect on January 1, 2027, and does not provide any funding or authorize new positions. The fiscal impact is indeterminable, with potential costs for the state General Fund estimated to range from $0 to $100,000 in any fiscal year due to increased investigations and enforcement actions related to violations of this new prohibition. The Department of Justice anticipates that while the bill may streamline some existing investigations, it could also lead to an increase in the number of violations requiring attention.
