Introduced·12/10/25

New Hampshire HB1508 allows one-party consent for audio and video recordings, provided privacy laws are not violated and recordings are not used for.

New Hampshire HB1508 amends RSA 570-A:2, II to allow one-party consent for recording oral communications or telecommunications. This change permits individuals to record conversations they are part of without needing consent from all parties, as long as the recording does not violate privacy laws or serve purposes of blackmail or harassment. The Department of Justice, in coordination with the Administrative Office of the Courts, will issue public guidance, conduct awareness campaigns, and provide training resources to inform the public about these changes.
