Here’s the text from a post on Facebook by the guy who wrote the bill.
It definitely seems different from what we’ve previously talked about here.

“Governor Sununu needs another hug from me, he signed HB1178 into law.
AN ACT prohibiting the state from enforcing any federal statute, regulation, or Presidential Executive Order that restricts or regulates the right of the people to keep and bear arms.
I want to thank every supporter of this great law that helped make this come true for NH. God Bless America, New Hampshire, and the Second Amendment.
Governor's statement and now new law are below.
Thank you,
Representative John Burt,
Goffstown, Weare, Deering
Governor Sununu issued the following statement regarding HB 1178:
“New Hampshire has a proud tradition of responsible firearms stewardship, and I’ve long said that I’m not looking to make any changes to our laws,” said Governor Chris Sununu. “This bill will ensure that New Hampshire’s law enforcement efforts will be on our own State firearms laws – and that’s where I believe their focus should be.”
