11:49 a.m.: New Hampshire billboards won’t be advertising alcohol anytime soon, as the House voted 193-164 to uphold a longtime state law banning it.
A bill passed by the Senate would’ve overturned a state law that bans alcohol companies from advertising on billboards. Substance abuse advocacy groups and beer distributors opposed this bill. Local breweries or wineries can still advertise their businesses on billboards as long as the billboards don’t depict alcohol.
Opponents of the ban said it restricts speech and pointed out that alcohol ads are allowed on television, on the radio and in print.
