HB1501

Limiting judicial immunity for New Hampshire judges and judicial state actors.

New Hampshire HB1501 amends the Revised Statutes of New Hampshire by adding a new chapter that defines "judicial immunity" and "judicial state actors." It limits judicial immunity, ensuring that judges and other judicial state actors cannot use it to avoid criminal prosecution or civil tort proceedings if they commit actions beyond their judicial duties, including criminal conduct, intentional torts, or acts done maliciously and outside their jurisdiction. This act takes effect upon passage.
