SB552

Permitting classification of individuals based on biological sex under certain limited circumstances.

Vetoed·6/24/26

New Hampshire SB552 would allow classification based on biological sex in specific circumstances.

New Hampshire SB552 would amend the state's Law Against Discrimination to permit classification based on biological sex in three specific circumstances: the construction and use of lavatory facilities or locker rooms, athletic or sporting events, and the operation of certain facilities such as prisons and mental health hospitals. The bill emphasizes that this classification does not require separation based on biological sex. The act was vetoed on June 24, 2026.
