Allowing a New Hampshire citizen to be given a no trespass order without any due process is against a person's civil liberties. Yes, you can give a temporary order of no trespassing for a dangerous situation (violence), .but to make a permanent no trespass order without any due process leads to authorities over stepping the law and becoming tyrants. The superintendent in Bow over stepped her authority and now the people of Bow are.paying the price in legal fees. She had many opportunities to fix this mistake but chose to take this to court. Bad decision on her part.

We dealt with an unlawful trespass order in the Nashua School District. In 2019, Superintendent Jahmal Mosley issued a no-trespass order to the former president of the Nashua Board of Education George Farrington after Mr. Farrington did not endorse Mr. Mosley to become superintendent. Mr. Farrington sued and won $60,000. This could have been prevented if the Board of Education had voted on the no-trespass order instead of allowing Mr. Mosley to issue no-trespass orders.

If this bill is passed, a disruptive patron could not be removed from the library or municipal building at the time of disruption.
Rep. Cathryn HarveyOpposeChesterfield, NHfor NH Library Trustees AssocJan 24, 2025
To Representative Terry Roy
New Hampshire Library Trustees Association is in opposition to HB 143. This bill presents a safety risk for library staff and patrons. Most library trustees meet once a month and would find it difficult to have a unanimous vote preventing a person from entering the building even though that person presents such a safety risk. Police might have to get involved which woukd only escalate the situation. And while this is taking place, children are in the library
This bill removes local control, impedes necessary quick reactions to insure safety of our citizens and is totally unnecessary.
Please ITL HB 143

This bill takes away local control for buildings the state has no power over. It endangers the safety of people. People need to know that their important places like schools and libraries are safe as they can remove people who make them unsafe and vulnerable.

To The Chair and Committee Members,
This bill is a slippery slope. That call should be made immediately by the authorities in the school or city building based on the situation. Those in attendance should not have to wait for a unanimous vote of anyone, let alone governing body! Protect our children and employees forever!

This will cause unnecessary delays for protecting students and teachers.
Ryan O'HoraOpposeHooksett, NHfor A Public Library/MyselfJan 24, 2025
Hello, my name is Ryan O'Hora and I live in Hooksett and work in Pembroke at the Town Library as the director. I'm opposed to this bill because this does not offer local control to our libraries. As this bill stands, it leaves directors and staff in difficult situations if we cannot ask public to leave if they are creating unsafe situations. For the safety of all, this bill seems to create more hoops to jump when there are members of the public that cannot abide by behavior policies. I'm concerned that if this bill is passed then municipal staff will not be able to protect staff, employees, public patrons, etc. in a timely manner.
