House Passes State Recognition of Biological Sex Bill
On Thursday, the full House passed SB 268, a critical, straightforward bill that clarifies the state’s permission to classify biological sexes in public areas such as athletic competitions, prisons, restrooms, and places of intimate privacy.
Across the state in Interlakes, Milford, and New Ipswich, biological males identifying as females have abused unrestricted access to female locker rooms, resulting in normalized harassment. Because there is no law explicitly granting permission to the state to separate biological sexes, the state Department of Justice claims that New Hampshire is prohibited from doing so at all.
SB 268 resolves this problem by clearly stating that public entities are not forbidden from distinguishing between the biological sexes. By doing so, the bill restores common-sense protections and addresses serious safety and privacy concerns created by policies based solely on self-declared gender identity.
The bill passed 185-159. Only one Republican, Rep. Nicholas Bridle (Hampton), voted against SB 268. Notably, Rep. Bridle’s vote was so extreme that his position was even to the left of one Democrat, who voted in support of the bill.

Abortion Statistics Bill Passes the House: Your Help is Still Needed!
On Thursday, the full House passed SB 36, a bill that strengthens New Hampshire’s abortion reporting requirements by ensuring the collection of meaningful and accurate abortion statistics.
Under current law, gestational age of the aborted child is not required to be reported, despite being a critical data point needed to accurately understand abortion practices in the state. Even Massachusetts’s abortion statistics law requires that actual gestational age be reported. Omitting specific data points like this allows the abortion industry to conceal the true prevalence of late-term abortions.
SB 36 will change our abortion statistics law to require the reporting of actual gestational age, bringing much-needed transparency and accountability to abortion reporting.
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
📝 SB 36 will now head to a Committee of Conference, a group comprised of both House and Senate members formed to resolve disagreements on a bill between the House and Senate.
📩 We urge you to contact your Senators and ask them to pass the bill as amended by the House.
