Final Passage·6/10/26

New Hampshire SB552 allows classification based on biological sex in specific circumstances to protect privacy and safety.

New Hampshire SB552 amends existing law to permit classification based on biological sex in certain situations. This includes the construction and use of lavatory facilities and locker rooms, athletic events where physical strength is an advantage, and in prisons and similar facilities. The bill emphasizes that this classification does not require separation but aims to protect privacy and safety. The act takes effect 60 days after its passage.
