New Hampshire HB1408 prohibits elected officials from disclosing personal information online with intent to threaten or intimidate, with penalties.

New Hampshire HB1408 amends RSA 643 by adding a new section that prohibits elected officials from knowingly making personal information of constituents or their immediate family publicly available on the Internet with intent to threaten, intimidate, or incite a crime of violence. The bill defines personal information to include names, addresses, contact details, and other identifiers. Elected officials found guilty of violating this provision face fines and potential jail time. Constituents can request the removal of such information if they believe it poses a serious threat to their safety.
