In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Three
AN ACT relative to placement and removal of political advertising.
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
1 Placement and Removal of Political Advertising. Amend RSA 664:17 to read as follows:
664:17 Placement and Removal of Political Advertising. No political advertising shall be placed on or affixed to any public property including highway rights-of-way or private property without the owner's consent. The earliest date on which political advertising may be placed or affixed shall be the last Friday in July prior to a state primary. All political advertising shall be removed by the candidate no later than the second Friday following the election unless the election is a primary and the advertising concerns a candidate who is a winner in the primary. No person shall remove, deface, or knowingly destroy any political advertising which is placed on or affixed to any private property except the owner of the property or a law enforcement officer or code enforcement officer removing improper advertising; provided, however, that, before a law enforcement officer or code enforcement officer removes any advertisement, he or she shall notify the candidate that it is improper, and allow the candidate 24 hours to remove the advertisement [himself].
2 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.
