This bill mandates that any county, municipality, or political subdivision in New Hampshire that has entered into an agreement with the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) through the federal 287(g) program must submit a quarterly report to the attorney general. The report, which is required to begin by December 31, 2026, must include measurable program results, a detailed accounting of program funding and uses, and specific data categories such as persons detained for civil immigration violations, state offenses, and demographic information about those detained. The attorney general is also tasked with compiling and submitting a consolidated report to various state officials, starting on February 1, 2027.

The bill introduces a new section, RSA 106-P:2, which outlines these reporting requirements, while no existing legal language is deleted. The fiscal impact of the bill indicates that it does not provide funding or authorize new positions, but it is estimated that the Department of Justice will require a part-time investigative paralegal to fulfill the reporting obligations, with projected costs of approximately $63,000 in FY 2027, $62,000 in FY 2028, and $64,000 in FY 2029. Local political subdivisions may incur minor costs, generally less than $10,000 each, to comply with the new reporting requirements.
