Bills we SUPPORT

HB 665-FN-A,. This bill would require that at least one school meal is available without cost to children who qualify based on a household income less than or equal to 300% of the federal poverty guidelines.

SB 204-FN-A, This bill is a pragmatic, modest effort to address food insecurity in K-12 students. It provides school districts the option of increasing eligibility for free meals to 200% of the federal poverty level.

Bills we OPPOSE

HB 709-FN, allowing parents or guardians to admit their children into any school district where they pay any property or school district taxes.

HB 748-FN, establishing a committee to study a local education freedom account program.

HB 675-FN-A-LOCAL, This bill would impose a mandatory spending cap on local school budgets despite the needs of the district or the will of the community.

SB 33-FN, this is a renewed attempt to block a First Amendment right by creating new ways for people to ban books.

HB 158, This bill would force clerks to reveal the identities of New Hampshire citizens who voted by absentee ballot, thus violating the privacy and imperiling the security of citizens who voted by absentee ballot.

HB 317,  This bill throws another obstacle in the way of lawful voters right to vote by eliminating the longstanding ability of some election officials to recognize registered and qualified voters at the polls by sight and personal knowledge.

HB 323, This bill would significantly limit the types of ID acceptable for proving identity for voting purposes, including eliminating the use of student IDs.

SB 268, This bill would create exceptions to the sexual or gender identity protections under New Hampshire’s RSA 354-A:1, titled the “Law Against Discrimination.” It would allow “classification of individuals based on biological sex” in three circumstances, including the use of restrooms/locker rooms, participation in sports, and housing for jails/prisons. Nearly identical language has been vetoed twice, under HB396 in 2024 and HB148 in 2025 by two different governors.

HB 232-FN, This is a bill that restricts abortion access, as it allows anyone working at a health care facility, even at the front desk, to turn away an abortion patient. It will, in many circumstances, deprive women of their ability to access health care that is legal in New Hampshire.

HB 609-FN, As a practical matter, this bill would remove the ability of state agencies to

regulate the carrying of weapons during public events.

HB 392-FN, This bill would mandate the dissolution of the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Health Equity, the Department of Environmental Services’ Functions for Civil Rights and Environmental Justice, and the Governor’s Council on Diversity and Inclusion.

CACR4 This proposed constitutional amendment, which would require a supermajority vote to appear on the November ballot, needlessly restates existing voter eligibility rules with new phrasing that could lead to confusion

HB 365 The bill would create a voucher program requiring voters to declare themselves “indigent” to receive free copies of vital records for voter registration purposes, an approach that is both demeaning and unnecessary
