Bill > HB1100

This bill establishes a new exception to New Hampshire's existing laws regarding the interception and disclosure of telecommunication or oral communications. Specifically, the bill permits an individual to record a telecommunication (such as a phone call) after the other party to the communication has explicitly informed the person that the call may be recorded. This means that if someone says at the beginning of a call, "This call may be recorded," the recipient of that statement would then be legally allowed to record the conversation without violating existing privacy laws. The bill is set to take effect on January 1, 2027, and appears to be designed to provide clarity around consent for recording communications. While the fiscal note suggests there may be some indeterminable impact on judicial and correctional systems, the bill itself does not create new criminal penalties but rather modifies an existing statute to create a specific allowance for recording communications with prior notification.
