The 2026 legislative season has come to a close, and all bills that remain alive will be heading to the Governor for signature between now and the end of the summer.
Before we dive in, it’s worth stepping back and remembering something important: the legislative process is difficult by design. It should be hard to make a law. It requires significant consensus, and that can be deeply frustrating when we know we’re right — but it is a feature, not a bug. That framework protects all of us in the long run, even when it doesn’t feel that way in the moment.
💔 The Biggest Heartbreak: HB 360
New Hampshire came agonizingly close to becoming the first state in the country to put a hard stop to school-based health clinics — one of the most dangerous threats to parental rights in our schools today.
HB 360, the bill banning school-based health clinics, fell victim to a series of unrelated deals and back-room negotiations and ultimately died in the Committee of Conference. It was a painful loss. But we are not done. We will be back next year, and we will push harder. Thank you to everyone who fought for this bill.
✅ Victories to Celebrate
Despite the heartbreak, this was a productive session. The following bills passed and are on their way to the Governor:
HB 1378 — Ends vaccine mandates for foster families. A long-overdue protection for loving homes that open their doors to children in need.
HB 1378 — Ends vaccine mandates for foster families. A long-overdue protection for loving homes that open their doors to children in need.
HB 1448 — Bans any public school curriculum created by the World Economic Forum. Our children’s education will not be shaped by unelected globalist agendas.
HB 1698 — Prohibits digital ID in New Hampshire.
HB 1584 — Requires that all patients be notified of their vaccine exemption rights.
HB 396 — Promotes food freedom. Farmers will now be able to sell more custom processed meat, furthering access to safe, local food.
HB 656 — Requires public input and transparency of federal school-related grants.
🏠 The Big One: HB 1268 — The Home Education Freedom Act
This is the one to watch. HB 1268, the Home Education Freedom Act, would make New Hampshire the freest state in the country to home educate. That is an extraordinary achievement and a testament to the thousands of NH families who have advocated tirelessly for educational freedom.
However, more action will be needed to push this over the finish line and secure the Governor’s signature. Stay tuned — we will be reaching out with specific action steps very soon.
None of this happens without you. Your calls, your emails, your presence at the State House, and your unwavering commitment to liberty made every one of these victories possible.
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for everything you do for New Hampshire and for the cause of freedom.
Towards Liberty,
Melissa Blasek, executive director
