HB 1735
HB 1735-FN, builds on New Hampshire’s existing Right to Try law (HB 701, passed last year) by expanding access to investigational treatments for patients facing chronic and debilitating illnesses—not only those who are terminally ill. HB 1735 is a vital step in the movement toward greater compassion and patient freedom in healthcare.

HB 1416
HB 1416, introduced by Rep. Sam Farrington, safeguards pregnancy resource centers by ensuring they can operate according to their mission without fear of government overreach. HB 1416 would prohibit the state and municipalities from mandating that pregnancy resource centers perform abortions, provide contraception, or refer clients for such services.
Last month, HB 1416 passed the NH House on a vote of 176-163.
While offering protections like this to organizations that offer help to some of society’s most vulnerable seems like common-sense, every single Democrat opposed the bill. Unfortunately, six Republicans also voted against HB 1416, choosing to side with those who wish to see men and women providing help to women and babies in need forced to violate their consciences.

SB 552
SB 552, permitting the classification of individuals based on biological sex under certain limited circumstances, is 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 biological males identifying as females have abused unrestricted access to female locker rooms, resulting in normalized harassment. Because there is no law explicitly giving permission to the state to separate biological sexes, the state Department of Justice claims that NH is prohibited from doing so at all.
SB 552 will address this issue and clarify that public entities are not forbidden from differentiating between the biological sexes. The bill resolves serious safety concerns arising from the use of self-declared gender identity by allowing the separation of shared private spaces.
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
🗓️ SB 552 will now have an executive session in the House Judiciary Committee. During an executive session, the committee will vote to recommend the bill as OTP (ought to pass) or ITL (inexpedient to legislate).
✅ Please contact the House Judiciary Committee and urge them to vote OTP (Ought to Pass) on SB 552.

HB 1195
HB 1195, relative to municipal zoning requirements for child day care providers, requires towns and cities to allow child care facilities to operate by right in appropriate zones if they meet state licensing requirements — rather than letting local ordinances restrict or block them.
Young families across New Hampshire are struggling to find affordable childcare. The problem isn’t lack of willing providers — it’s that restrictive local zoning often prevents neighbors from offering care in their own homes. HB 1195 treats home-based childcare like any other permitted home occupation, while maintaining all state licensing standards.
After passing the House in a voice vote, last month, HB 1195 will now head to the Senate.

HB 1268
Rep. Kristin Noble’s HB 1268, The Home Education Freedom Act, is one of the most significant pro-liberty homeschooling reforms in New Hampshire history. Under current law, homeschooling families are required to file notices of intent, maintain portfolios, and complete annual evaluations—requirements that many parents find intrusive and unnecessary.
This bill makes those requirements optional rather than mandated, trusting parents—not bureaucrats—to direct their children’s education. It also creates important protections ensuring that the choice to homeschool cannot be used as evidence of educational neglect, prohibits school officials from creating policies governing homeschoolers, and protects the privacy and autonomy of homeschool families. Families educating children with special needs are protected as well.
HB 1268 sends a clear message: New Hampshire respects and trusts its homeschooling families.
In March, HB 1268 passed the House on a vote of 174-166. It now heads to the Senate.
