AI Summary
This bill requires law enforcement and peace officers to notify specific military agencies when they have probable cause to believe a member of the armed forces or National Guard has violated a military protection order. Specifically, if an officer believes a service member has breached a military protection order that is recorded in the Federal Bureau of Investigation's National Crime Information Center database, they must contact the law enforcement agency that originally entered the order. The bill also grants the New Hampshire Air National Guard, Army National Guard, and 157 Air Refueling Wing Staff Judge Advocate offices access to confidential criminal history records, criminal investigation documentation, and public court records of National Guard employees and service members to help them carry out their legal responsibilities. Additionally, the bill mandates that if an officer has probable cause to believe a New Hampshire National Guard member has violated a military protection order, they must notify the New Hampshire National Guard general counsel. The bill will take effect 180 days after its passage, and while it is not expected to generate new revenue, it may have some indeterminable impact on judicial and correctional system costs.
