The proposed bill, known as the "New Hampshire Private Lands Protection Act," establishes specific requirements for government agents regarding entry into secured premises without a warrant. It introduces a new section, RSA 595-A:11, which defines key terms such as "government agent," "probable cause," "secured premises," and "warrant." The bill stipulates that government agents may not enter secured premises without a search warrant unless they have the property owner's consent or are responding to exigent circumstances, such as emergencies threatening public safety. Additionally, upon entry, agents must notify the property owner if possible and must show a warrant if present, while also prohibiting the seizure of property without a warrant unless under the aforementioned conditions.

The bill also includes provisions that render any evidence obtained through violations of this section inadmissible in legal proceedings and invalidates any arrests made under such circumstances. Notably, the provisions do not apply to conservation officers enforcing wildlife laws, and the bill clarifies that it does not limit access for governmental or regulatory agencies as provided by law. The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2026, and is projected to have a fiscal impact of less than $10,000 for each fiscal year from 2026 to 2029.
