New Hampshire Gov. Kelly Ayotte announced Friday that she signed House Bill 1460 into law, which prohibits the sale of data for a child under the age of 13.
HB 1460 bans businesses from selling a child’s online personal data to a third party in New Hampshire. It alters the existing statute that outlines how businesses can use consumer data.
Both New Hampshire and the federal government have laws aimed at limiting how businesses can use and sell the internet data of children. Despite the Department of Justice testifying in bill hearings that the law could impact the state’s ability to investigate and prosecute the federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act and on behalf of the Consumer Protection and Antitrust Bureau, Ayotte signed the bill into law.
The bill takes effect on Jan. 1, 2027
