SB72 establishes broad "parents' bill of rights" in education. It declares that parents have a fundamental right over their children's upbringing, education, health care, and mental health, and would require schools to notify parents of those rights each year. The bill also would bar schools and school employees from knowingly withholding information from parents about a child's health, emotional well-being, or requested changes to the child's name, pronouns, or sex-based accommodations, except in limited abuse-related situations.

The New Hampshire State House of Representatives passed SB72 on June 5, 2025 by a vote of 214 to 167. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the upbringing, education, care, and control of children belongs to—and is a fundamental right of—parents, not the government. The State of New Hampshire has a duty to uphold the right of parents to raise their children. Parental rights are retained under the Ninth and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
