Where it stands
House: DIED ON THE TABLE
Every floor vote on this bill was a voice or division vote, so there is no record of how individual legislators voted.
A bill goes on the consent calendar when the committee vote was unanimous or nearly so, and any members who dissented did not object to placing it there. It then passes without floor debate. Ten members may file a petition to pull a bill off the consent calendar and have it debated and voted on separately.
The bill was set aside during the session and never taken back up, so it died when the session ended.

Committee — OUGHT TO PASS
This bill addresses a critical gap in our criminal code regarding the malicious weaponization of personal information, commonly known as “doxing.” In the digital age, a person’s private data, including their home address, personal phone number, and workplace, can be broadcast to thousands of people in an instant with the explicit intent to incite harassment, threats, or physical harm. While New Hampshire has robust stalking and harassment laws, they often require a pattern of conduct or direct contact. Doxing is a unique and cowardly offense where the perpetrator uses an audience as a proxy to inflict terror on a victim. This bill establishes a clear criminal offense for intentionally publishing another person’s personal identifying information when done with the intent to threaten, intimidate, or harm. By classifying this conduct as a class A misdemeanor, and potentially a class B felony if it results in bodily injury, we are sending a clear message that the “Live Free or Die” state will not tolerate those who use digital platforms to put a target on the backs of our citizens. Furthermore, this bill provides a vital civil remedy, allowing victims to seek damages and injunctive relief against those who have upended their lives and compromised their safety. This dual approach ensures that victims have both a criminal deterrent and a path toward personal restitution. Protecting the privacy and physical security of our constituents is a fundamental duty of this legislature, and this bill provides the necessary legal tools to hold digital vigilantes accountable for their actions. Vote 12-0.
