⭐⭐⭐House Passed! House Health Human Services & Elderly Affairs Committee | HB 524-FN 🟢SUPPORT | repealing the New Hampshire vaccine associationHere’s some talking points on why..to SUPPORT HB 524-FN to repeal the NH Vaccine Association:* This bill supports Gov. Ayotte’s COGE program to reduce the cost and scope of unnecessary government and will save us millions of dollars. We are in a budget crisis and must look everywhere to see what functions are better served by private industry, reducing the cost of government. * Savings will include many DHHS employees no longer needed to order, deliver, and monitor vaccines supplied for the benefit of private insurers. * We don’t need to pay government millions of dollars to do what private business does better and most cost effectively. * This NH Vaccine Association increases costs to private health insurance consumers, already facing some of the highest costs in the nation. * The vast majority of other states have reviewed this government purchase program and have rejected it because it is excessive, costly, and unnecessary. Only a few states have this program, all of them handed decades-long, no-bid contracts to the administrator who initially promoted this idea. * The DHHS vaccine purchase program has never been audited. $40 million in vaccine purchases with no oversight as to where and how the money is spent and what vaccines are being purchased and who they are being used for. * The Vaccine Association claims to be a non-profit but files no federal Form 990, required for all non-profits. This is a serious lack of disclosure. * This bill will allow doctors and hospitals to purchase their own vaccines for children using their existing group purchasing organizations and manufacturer discount purchase programs, likely saving even more. Hospitals and doctors already do this for adults, very efficiently and cost saving! Time to privatize the purchase of child vaccines too! * Doctors and hospitals are better at managing their own vaccine inventory without the $5 million mandate on the state purchase program and without the mandate to purchase vaccines their patients don’t want, like the covid shots. * This bill does not change vaccine policy or requirements on children. School and day care requirements remain the same. * This bill is not about the merits or potential benefits of vaccines. * This bill will not increase costs to parents. The Affordable Care Act requires that commercial insurers cover the full costs of all vaccines recommended for children without any deductible or cost sharing. This bill doesn’t change that. * There will be no change in availability of vaccines. Only the purchaser will change. There will be plenty of vaccines. * This bill is long overdue, returning private function to private industry, saving taxpayers and insurance consumers money for the cost of DHHS involvement in this Association. | |

SExecutive Session TBD House Child & Family Law Committee | HB 553-FN ❌OPPOSE | defining abuse and neglect and harmA BAD BILL, here’s why:1. Due Process Concerns: The bill allows family court to proceed with parental fitness tests without a conviction, bypassing due process guarantees under both the NH and U.S. Constitutions by not requiring a legal finding of guilt.2. Broadened Scope of Welfare: The bill extends the statute’s protection to emotional or psychological welfare, giving judges wide discretion without clear definitions, potentially allowing judicial overreach into parental rights even without criminal charges. 3. Redefinition of Physical Injury: The new language presumes abuse from injuries of unknown origin when parents are primary caregivers, reversing the burden of proof and clashing with due process by assuming guilt without evidence. 4. Trauma-Informed Care Controversy: The inclusion of “trauma-informed care” concepts, criticized for lacking scientific backing, could lead to misdiagnosis or overemphasis on trauma, with unclear and inconsistent application. 5. Serious Impairment Expansion: The bill adds “any single incident or occurrence of serious injury or illness” to the definition of serious impairment, potentially mislabeling normal childhood accidents or illnesses as neglect or abuse. 6. Parentification Concerns: Normal family dynamics where children occasionally support parents could be misconstrued as “parentification” under the bill, potentially leading to findings of abuse based on judicial discretion rather than legal conviction. 7. Lower Evidence Standard: By using the “preponderance of the evidence” standard instead of “beyond a reasonable doubt,” the bill treats abuse and neglect more like civil than criminal matters, potentially leading to unjust loss of parental rights without sufficient proof of wrongdoing. | • Contact members |

Executive Session: 03/04/2025 11:00 am LOB 206-208 House Child & Family Law Committee | HB 652-FN 🟢SUPPORT | abolishing the family division, creating the office of family mediation, and reassigning the jurisdiction of the family divisiondetails courtesy of NH Family JusticeThis bill abolishes the family division of the circuit court, creates the office of family mediation, and reassigns the jurisdiction of the family division to probate and superior court. This is our priority legislation for this year. Please click the bill title link above and read the bill in full. We are hoping to have a huge turnout for this hearing. Please attend.⬇️ Key points below. ⬇️ Committee testimony has the most impact on the outcome of a bill. Additionally, you find committee member contact info here:https://gc.nh.gov/house/committees/committeedetails.aspx?id=24 HB652-FN Key Points This bill proposes significant changes to the family court system in New Hampshire, transitioning cases from a specialized family division of the circuit court to a new Office of Mediation and Arbitration, which will oversee the administration of family mediation and alternative dispute resolution programs. It will eliminate the financial incentives and manipulation of Title IV and other HHS taxpayer money programs and ensures due process and consistent rules of evidence that protect child victims and the accused in abuse and neglect cases. KEY POINTS: -Closes Administrative Family Court while an exit strategy transitions cases to the new Office of Mediation and Arbitration of New Hampshire and/or the Superior Court, a real court of law. -This bill is based on restoring due process and impartiality in family law. This bill assures children and families that their rights are guaranteed -All attempts to revoke individual rights and freedoms or remove children will have due process protections applied. -The administrative family court will be closed. -The State Office of Mediation and Arbitration will receive family law cases. Undisputed current or incoming cases will go to the new department of Mediation (this is completely different than the current NH Independently operated NH Mediation Firms) -The superior court will have exclusive jurisdiction over cases previously within the jurisdiction of the circuit court family division, including petitions for divorce, nullity of marriage, alimony, custody of children, support, and establishment of paternity. -Parties may first seek to resolve their cases through the Office of Family Mediation before proceeding to court. -Criminal Court – If a family has a claim of abuse or abuse occurs during the process, the case will go to Superior Court where due process is guaranteed, and evidence is considered with consistent rules – no arbitrary decision-making by family court administrative law judges (assures protections for victims and accused) -Civil Court – If a family is unable to resolve civil or financial disputes, they will go to a Civil Law Court where evidence is treated consistently. -This bill stops stakeholders motivated by money from profiting at the expense of children and families. -This bill eliminates the flow of Title IV grant money and Child Support Contract motivations by the Bureau for Child Support Services (BCSS). -This bill will also stop the flow of Title IV incentive money to the ‘administrative family court’ by eliminating the family court and establishing a state agency with all accountability measures and enforcement remedies upon those who are employees or sworn officers of the state (not outsourced contractors). -This bill will stop the arbitrary decisions of outsourced contractors (family court judges). -This bill will stop arbitrary influence of Attorneys, Guardians Ad Litem, and Therapists who participate for billing opportunities without being justified -The bill establishes that willful misconduct by any administrator will have consequences, and any immunity is only offered during state working hours. -This bill establishes a Quality Assurance Program to deal with complaints and discrepancies that will include three members of the general public on a rotating schedule. -The board is required to establish eligibility requirements for certification as a family mediator, including holding a bachelor’s or advanced degree from an accredited institution in a discipline relevant to family issues. (No random hires, no third-party hires, no contractors, no money incentives to harm children and families) -Parental rights and responsibilities: Mediators from either office have no authority to make decisions or impose settlements upon parties; any settlement is entirely voluntary. (This addresses the problematic orders churning from family court of orders that are not judicially enforceable and create case protraction for financial gain) -All final documents will be filed with the court, reviewed by a constitutionally appointed and sworn judge and so ordered. -This bill promotes resolution over artificial and improper influences of attorneys, GALs, Therapist, Private Investigators, etc., that have plagued our children and families for 20 years. -This bill will also help establish a future restitution fund for victims who have been within the court for more than 2 years and have documented harm resulting from the family court actions. -This bill began as a consideration to all families and children and the preventable harm and lack of due process practiced in NH. Further consideration has been given to how the Taxpayers have been saddled with paying for the crimes and harm resulting from the family court. The bill aims to stop the accumulation of more families harmed, thereby stopping the flow of taxpayer money to fund state-sanctioned abuse under color of law. press release here:https://mailchi.mp/nhfamilyjustice.com/hb652-fn-key-points | • Contact members |

Executive Session 2/18 House Education Policy & Administration Committee | HB 738 ❌OPPOSE | requiring certain non-public schools or education service providers that accept public funds to perform background checks on all employees and volunteersreview courtesy of Granite State Home Educators:Attn: All supporters of home educationHB 738 would require home educating families to have background checks, will have a public hearing Yes, it’s back for Round 3. New Hampshire has, for the third time, put forward a background check bill that entangles independent, 193-A home education families in legislative attempts to put restrictions on the Education Freedom Account (EFA) program. This year it is HB 738 (2025) sponsored by Rep David Luneau. It is the identical language previously used in HB 1664 (2022) and HB 628 (2024). Once again independent homeschoolers need to fight off overreaching intrusion when we aren’t the primary target of the bill. Even though the sponsor of HB 628 (2024), Rep Linda Tanner, claimed that she did not intend the bill to apply to independent home education families, she did not introduce an amendment to clarify the language, and that sloppy language is repeated in the 2025 bill. Instead of referring to the Education Freedom Account (EFA) by name or statute, RSA 194-F, the term “home education” is used and it is defined in the compulsory attendance law, RSA 193:1, as well as the home ed law, RSA 193-A. Even if the child’s educational experience is the same, home education is a separate educational pathway from the EFA regardless of how the funds are used. The bill states that education providers who accept taxpayer-sourced funds would be required to perform background checks on teachers and volunteers. However, there are dozens of learning centers, co-ops, tutors, and other enrichment programs that accept taxpayer-funded payments from families, and it can easily extend to family-based learning opportunities, too. Even if background checks did not extend to parents educating their own children (they are not carved out as an exception in the bill), what about groups that have parents acting as instructors? Imagine a monthly book club that meets at a local library that is led by one of the parents and one child is an EFA participant. Imagine a field trip that a local group of homeschooling friends organize and a couple of the students are using the EFA to pay for tickets. Imagine a few homeschool families hold an astronomy activity and rent a telescope for the lessons. If a single child uses the EFA to pay for their portion of the telescope rental, would all the parents need a background check? Likely so, if HB 738 passed. The true intention of the background check bill is a witch-hunt of parents. In October 2022, when the House Education Committee held a subcommittee session on HB 1664, the first background check bill, there was extended discussion where some representatives said parents are “bad actors” and choose home education in order to hide child abuse. Also, HB 738 specifically references tax credits which is the Education Tax Credit scholarship program, RSA 77-G, that is funded by private donations, not state funds. Many low-income home education families are recipients of this grant. HB 738 is a slippery slope as it could apply to parents educating their own children and to families who do not use the government-funded Education Freedom Account. https://gshenh.org/background-check-bill-returns-for…/ TAKE ACTION! – plan to attend the hearing and give testimony to the committee in-person – email the House Education Policy and Administration Committee ahead of the hearing; find their contact information here https://gshenh.org/…/make-a…/lessons/nh-legislators/ | • Contact members • Attend & testify! |

Executive Session TBD House Criminal Justice & Public Safety Committee | HB 159 ❌OPPOSE | We thought you may be interested to follow this bill. Authorizing the state to report mental health data for firearms background check..key points courtesy of NH Firearms Coalition:Here are critical points about why this bill could impact law-abiding citizens:Stigma and Privacy Concerns: A law-abiding citizen who has voluntarily sought mental health support might fear being reported under this system, even if they are not deemed a threat. This could deter individuals from seeking help due to the stigma and fear of losing their Second Amendment rights. Misapplication of Law: Consider a scenario where someone undergoes a temporary mental health crisis, like due to a divorce or job loss, and is hospitalized involuntarily for evaluation. If this person is otherwise law-abiding and poses no real threat, the automatic inclusion in the NICS system might disarm them without due consideration. Due Process Issues: There could be cases where the legal process does not adequately consider the nuances of an individual’s situation. For instance, firearms might be confiscated based on a preliminary assessment before a full evaluation or appeal, impacting rights without thorough review. | • Contact members |
