An important part of that is by Tracking legislation that touches the LGBTQIA+ community and providing updates and information on how NH residents can effectively engage with proposed legislation at every stage.

HB1132: Bill Hearings & Public Record

HB1132 - School Censorship

  • Official Title: prohibiting the display of certain flags in public schools and public charter schools and establishing penalties for the display of prohibited flags.

  • Bill Sponsors: (Prime) Freeman (R), Colcombe (R), Ford (R), Harvey-Bolia (R), Litchfield (R), Miner (R), Thibault (R), Avard (R)

This bill only allows official flags in school buildings, effectively banning pride flags. Also important to note - this bill additionally bans flags that are not state, United States, or school-specific. This means no flags that honor a student’s heritage, celebrate a cherished sports team, or reference someone’s favorite charity. The committee hearings & public record of the bill can be watched and reviews at the “Bill Hearings & Public Record” linked above.
