Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.

Local sanctuary bans and state fines

Beginning January 1, 2026, local governments cannot block state or federal agencies from following federal immigration law, unless state or federal law says otherwise. The Attorney General can sue violators. Courts can order fines up to 25% of the state funds the local government got in that fiscal year. Fines go to the New Hampshire general fund, and court orders must describe the policy that broke the law. The law also defines which police, sheriffs, jail, and campus police are covered, and what counts as a local government.

Police can join federal immigration program

Beginning 60 days after passage, the law stops the state or any local government from blocking police or sheriffs from applying to or signing an agreement to join a federal immigration-enforcement partnership. Local governments cannot forbid or impede these agreements.

Short holds and reports on immigration detainers

Beginning January 1, 2026, counties can hold people for up to 48 hours after state charges end to transfer them to federal custody. Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays do not count toward the 48 hours. Any agency that refuses an immigration detainer must report each refusal to the Attorney General in the time, form, and manner the Attorney General sets.
