In a victory for free speech rights in New Hampshire, the New Hampshire Supreme Court held today (May 7, 2014) that a DMV regulation prohibiting vanity car license plates “which a reasonable person would find offensive to good taste” violated Part I, Article 22 of the New Hampshire Constitution. The Court concluded that the regulation was unconstitutionally vague because it is “so loosely constrained” that it “authorizes or even encourages arbitrary and discriminatory enforcement.” The NHCLU, with the assistance of the law firm Nixon Peabody, submitted a “friend-of-the-court” brief to the New Hampshire Supreme Court arguing that the regulation was unconstitutional on these very grounds. The NHCLU also participated in oral argument before the Supreme Court. The Court’s decision can be found here.
