Where it stands
House: INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE
Every floor vote on this bill was a voice or division vote, so there is no record of how individual legislators voted.
A bill goes on the consent calendar when the committee vote was unanimous or nearly so, and any members who dissented did not object to placing it there. It then passes without floor debate. Ten members may file a petition to pull a bill off the consent calendar and have it debated and voted on separately.

Committee reports
Reproduced from the House Calendar in the committee’s own words.
Committee — INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE
This bill proposes to amend RSA 664:17 by adding language authorizing municipalities to remove “any political advertising remaining on any public property, including highway rightsof-way or state-owned property, after the second Friday following the election.” This change disregards the property rights of individuals who own the private property underlying many highway rights-of-way. The bill is otherwise redundant because RSA 664:17 already authorizes city or town maintenance or law enforcement personnel to remove political advertising from any public property without time constraints. It is therefore the view of the Election Law Committee that this bill should be found Inexpedient to Legislate. Vote 14-0.
