New Hampshire HB1561 prohibits PRC nationals from enrolling in or working at public higher education institutions.

New Hampshire HB1561 amends RSA 187-A to prohibit citizens or agents of the People's Republic of China from enrolling in master's or doctorate degree programs, participating in research, or working full-time at public institutions of higher education. The act defines "PRC national" as any Chinese citizen or agent not a U.S. citizen, including those with ties to the PRC government. Higher education institutions must not permit PRC nationals in prohibited activities and must not partner with PRC government entities.
