relative to civil rights enforcement.

Summary

The bill revises New Hampshire’s civil‑rights enforcement so that assault, threats, or property damage is illegal only when the act is substantially motivated by hostility toward the victim’s race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or other protected trait. It defines “threatened physical force” and “threatened damage” and applies to any person committing such conduct. The change narrows civil‑rights claims to bias‑driven offenses, focusing protection on those targeted for who they are.
