relative to the penalties for the offense of disobeying an officer.

Summary

The proposal amends New Hampshire’s disobey‑an‑officer statute to allow the state to suspend a driver’s license and vehicle registration for any violation. It also upgrades certain violations to a class A misdemeanor and makes the specific act of disobeying an officer (sub‑paragraph I(c)) a class B felony, with an even harsher class A felony if a crash causes injury or death. The change aims to deter dangerous non‑compliance with police commands.
