Bill Summary
This bill prevents New Hampshire law enforcement from assisting in the prosecution of copyright infringement cases against free and open source software projects.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits New Hampshire law enforcement, including state and local police, from assisting federal law enforcement in any investigation or prosecution of copyright claims or other intellectual property crimes brought by makers of proprietary software against makers of competing free and open source software projects. The bill aims to prevent state and local resources from being used in enforcing such copyright claims against free and open source software. The fiscal impact of the bill is indeterminable, as the state is unable to estimate the number of potential copyright investigations where state police assistance may have been requested.
