establishing an exception to the prohibition against interception and disclosure of telecommunication or oral communications.
HB 1100 allows individuals to record phone calls or conversations if the other party has already been informed the call may be recorded. This exception directly affects people and businesses that want to document communications, such as in customer service or personal contexts. The bill amends New Hampshire law by adding a new provision (RSA 570-A:2, II(n)) to permit such recording, while maintaining existing prohibitions against unauthorized interception. The change takes effect January 1, 2027, with no estimated state or local fiscal impact.
