I don't think that the NH legislature "banned" anything. Local city and town councils and boards of selectmen still have the ability to regulate local land use as they (and their constituents) feel best, within extisting state law. That's good, right? From my brief look at it, the Rochester thing was a vote to reject a federal "sustainable community initiative grant," whatever that is. I guess that certain people think that such grants are some sort of communist/socialist/UN/new world order plot to subvert our American way of life.
One of the many web sites that talks about this says that American court rooms are controlled by Queen Elizabeth II of England. The proof is that the American flags in U.S. courtrooms have gold fringe around the edges, which is a symbol of maritime law, and England is a maritime nation. Really.
