Complete·6/24/26

New Hampshire HB1698 prohibits requiring individuals to obtain or businesses to accept electronic credentials.

New Hampshire HB1698 amends RSA 263-A:5 and RSA 263-A:3 to ensure that individuals are not required to obtain electronic credentials, such as mobile drivers' licenses or non-driver identification cards, and businesses are not compelled to accept them. This legislation emphasizes privacy by explicitly stating that no person shall be compelled to create, maintain, or display an electronic credential, and no business shall be required to accept such credentials.
