New Hampshire HB1454 amends laws to penalize possession of firearms after a court order requiring surrender.

New Hampshire HB1454 amends RSA 159 by adding a new section that penalizes possession of firearms in violation of a court order requiring surrender. The bill specifies that such possession is a class A misdemeanor for a first offense and a class B felony for subsequent offenses. The court order must be a domestic violence order of protection issued under RSA 173-B or another order related to a domestic violence case. This act will take effect 60 days after its passage.
