New Hampshire may be the latest state to ban demonstrations near funerals after a visit from Topeka's Westboro Baptist Church.
State lawmakers added the ban to an unrelated bill and a public hearing is scheduled for Thursday.
Members of the church picketed in the center of Hampstead, New Hampshire, last month.
The ban would be similar to a national law that requires demonstrators to remain at least 500 feet away from mourners in national cemeteries.
A national group says at least 32 states, including Kansas, have enacted laws restricting funeral protests.
