METHODOLOGY:
This bill requires municipalities, counties, and any other political subdivision that enters into an agreement with United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under the 287 (g) program to submit quarterly reports to the Attorney General starting on December 31, 2026. Additionally, the Attorney General is required to submit a quarterly consolidated report summarizing information received from municipalities, counties, and any other political subdivision starting on February 1, 2027.
The New Hampshire Department of Justice indicates that one additional part-time investigative paralegal would be required to meet the bill’s reporting obligations. The estimated total costs for this position are: FY 2027 $63,000, FY 2028 $62,000, and FY 2029 $64,000. This bill does not provide funding, nor does it authorize new positions.
The New Hampshire Municipal Association (NHMA) notes that if municipalities are required to report new data not currently collected, the cost to compile such information would be less than $10,000 per political subdivision.
The New Hampshire Association of Counties (NHAC) anticipates minimal costs to comply with the bill. Some counties may already be able to generate the required reports using existing software, while others may incur only minor expenses to compile the necessary data.
