New Hampshire HB1412 mandates the display of U.S. and state flags in public schools and allows private schools to opt out.

New Hampshire HB1412 requires local school boards and governing bodies of public charter schools and academies to supply U.S. and state flags for display in school buildings. The flags must be at least 5 feet in length and 31 inches in width, with flagstaffs and appliances for display. The regulations mandate that the U.S. flag be displayed above the state flag when on the same staff. The act allows private schools to opt out of this requirement if approved by the local school board or governing body. The act takes effect 60 days after its passage.
