Complete·7/20/26

New Hampshire HB1376 protects parents' rights to raise children according to their biological sex and prevents such actions from being considered.

New Hampshire HB1376 amends state laws to ensure that parents raising their children according to their biological sex cannot be considered abusive or neglectful. This includes making mental health or medical decisions based on the child's biological sex. The bill also prevents these actions from being grounds for removing a child from the home, filing neglect or abuse petitions, or terminating parental rights. Additionally, it prohibits the Department of Health and Human Services from denying foster or adoptive licenses based on these beliefs.
