New Hampshire HB1097 requires legislative approval for amending or permanently removing historical markers.

New Hampshire HB1097 amends the state's historic preservation laws to require the joint legislative historical committee's approval before any historical marker can be amended or permanently removed. The commissioner of the department of natural and cultural resources must secure this approval before making any changes. The bill also maintains the existing requirement for the commissioner to secure the state historic preservation office's approval before placing any new marker. This act would have taken effect 60 days after its passage but was vetoed on June 19, 2026.
