Bill > HB1460

This bill, taking effect on January 1, 2027, amends New Hampshire's Data Privacy Law (RSA 507-H) to explicitly prohibit the sale of a child's personal data, which includes sensitive information like location data. While current law already requires consent before processing a child's data and adherence to federal regulations like the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), this bill strengthens protections by forbidding the sale of such data regardless of whether the entity knows the data belongs to a child or has obtained consent. The Department of Justice anticipates an indeterminable fiscal impact, as the bill could either streamline existing investigations or increase the number of potential violations requiring investigation and enforcement, with potential costs ranging from $0 to $100,000 annually.
