Criminalizing existing in public space is detrimental to community cohesiveness and trust.

I am writing in to urge you to oppose SB460. Criminalizing loitering will disproportionately impact vulnerable communities.

Keep predators away from children

Daniel RichardsonOpposeNashua, NHfor MyselfMar 18, 2026

This bill MANUFACTURES criminal violations. There is no telling where a child under 13 yo might be. In general public, it is impossible to not be within 1000 feet of one. What insane purpose does it serve to further beat down a unknowing prior offender with the environment he has no control over?
