Ideally this law should also clarify when First Amendment rights would supersede this decision

This is a terrible idea. It’s going against voter wishes.

Any municipal building should not be able to post anything showing favoritism toward any party or candidate. These types of displays should remain in a neutral public forum.

This bill violates the New Hampshire Constitution, specifically Part First Article 30. [Freedom of Speech.], which states "The freedom of deliberation, speech, and debate, in either House of the Legislature, is so essential to the rights of the people, that it cannot be the foundation of any action, complaint, or prosecution, in any other Court or place whatsoever." I would highly recommend this committee review the New Hampshire Constitution: https://www.nh.gov/glance/constitution.htm
