Success Last Week!
It’s been a whirlwind at the New Hampshire State House!
HB1811 — the bill to end school and daycare vaccine requirements — has passed out of committee with an amendment and is headed to the House floor this Thursday. This is a major step forward, and momentum is clearly building.
We’ll be sending a full update on our coordinated activism plan for the floor vote on Monday — including exactly how you can help. In the meantime, please take a few minutes to watch the recording from our recent activist call on HB1811 so you’re fully prepared for what’s ahead.
And there’s more good news:
✅ HB1719 — repealing the Hepatitis B vaccine mandate — has officially passed the House.
✅ HB1584 — requiring the Health Department to include notice of vaccine exemptions in all vaccination communications — has also passed the House.
These victories did not happen by accident. They happened because you showed up, made calls, sent emails, testified — and supported the work behind the scenes.
Now we are entering the most critical phase for HB1811.
If we are going to win this fight, we must be able to fund a targeted campaign for the floor vote — including voter education, direct outreach, and legislator communications. The opposition is organized and well-funded. We must be, too.
If you believe parents — not bureaucrats — should make medical decisions for their children, please consider making a donation today to help us push HB1811 across the finish line. Every dollar will go directly toward mobilizing supporters and ensuring lawmakers hear from their constituents before Thursday’s vote. Please donate today.
Thursday will be pivotal. Watch for Monday’s action plan — and if you’re able, please invest in this fight right now.
Together, we can get this done.
Legislative Update For Week of
February 16th, 2026
NOTE: Due to renovations, all House hearings will be held at 1 Granite Place, Concord, NH, for the next two years.
Friday, February 20th, N.H. House
Education Policy & Administration
Room 232, Granite Place
⭐ 10:00 a.m. – SUPPORT – HB1268
Some bad-faith actors are attempting to use this bill to divide activists, but we’re here to set the record straight. This is one of the most pro-liberty home education bills ever introduced, and RebuildNH strongly supports it alongside the Home School Legal Defense Association.
The bill eliminates the notification requirement, the portfolio requirement, and the end-of-year evaluation requirement—removing unnecessary government oversight from homeschooling families.
We also asked AI to conduct a full analysis of the bill and anticipate that future amendments may incorporate some of its recommendations to strengthen the bill even further. In addition, we’ve prepared a Q&A fact sheet to address and dispel myths about the legislation.
You can find both the analysis and the fact sheet here.

N.H. Senate Session
⭐ OPPOSE – SB488
I find this bill shocking — yet it appears ready to pass out of committee.
This bill allows the Governor to declare a State of Emergency if a budget doesn’t pass. This would give the governor an immense amount of power to rule the state without legislative input or oversight.
Some of our biggest policy wins have happened during budget negotiations because the pressure to pass a budget creates accountability and leverage. This bill would eliminate that pressure and weaken the Legislature’s role.✉️ Contact your senator here
I appreciate everyone who spends the time each week to register their disposition and write testimony. I recommend copying and pasting the testimony, which can be as simple as a single sentence in support or opposition, into both the online submission form and in an email.
Testimony submitted in the submission form is entered in the permanent record, but in my opinion, emails make more of a difference from an activism perspective.
Towards Liberty,
Melissa Blasek
