This bill permits nonprofit entities based in Concord to install one advertising device near Exit 12 on Interstate 93 specifically for promoting nonprofit events and destinations in downtown Concord. The new legal language added to RSA 236:74, IV includes a subparagraph (h) that outlines the conditions under which these advertising devices can be erected and maintained. Key stipulations include that the device must be located on a parcel approved by the City of Concord, comply with size and structural requirements, and exclusively display events sponsored by Concord-based nonprofits, while explicitly excluding commercial advertising and the City of Concord as a sponsor.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the funding and maintenance of the advertising device must come solely from eligible nonprofit organizations or the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce. It also allows for municipal approval to set limits on the number of events or messages displayed. The act will take effect 60 days after its passage and is projected to have a fiscal impact of less than $10,000 for each fiscal year from 2026 to 2029.
