NH HB1345

Schools must display U.S. and New Hampshire flags (minimum 5 feet long) outside school buildings, with outdoor flagpoles kept accessible year-round including plowed paths in winter

Only U.S., New Hampshire, and POW/MIA flags may be displayed regularly on public school property; other national, commercial, religious, political, or activism flags are prohibited except for educational purposes in specific classes

Middle, junior high, and secondary schools must designate at least 3 student volunteers as a color guard to raise flags each morning and lower/fold them each afternoon, with JROTC students handling duties where that program exists

Tattered, faded, or damaged flags cannot be flown and must be replaced immediately and sent to organizations like American Legion or VFW for proper retirement

Violations result in escalating penalties: first offense receives a warning, second offense triggers disciplinary action, and third or subsequent offenses are reported to the state board of education which can impose fines up to $1,000 per violation
