CACR 10 (2026)
Constitutional amendment requiring any new tax or tax increase to originate in the House of Representatives and pass by a two-thirds majority.
The House amended the bill to instead prohibit any tax on personal income that was not in effect on January 1, 2026.

Titled the "Countering Hate And Revolutionary Leftist Indoctrination in Education Act" or the "CHARLIE Act." The bill prohibits teaching various concepts and theories.

The bill would not apply to colleges and universities, private schools, or home schools. Individuals could sue under the law.
SB 101 (2025)
Allows parents to enroll their children in any public school in the state, regardless of what town or city they live in. A public school could reject a student's transfer for limited reasons, such as a "documented history of significant disciplinary issues."
The Senate amended the bill to also allow school events open to the general public, such as concerts and sports games, to be recorded without written consent from parents.
The Senate then added the substance of this bill to another bill, HB 751.
HB 1775 (2026)

HB 1815 (2026)
Redefines what educational content the state must fund to satisfy an "adequate education" in state law. For example, the bill removes references to the minimum standards for public school approval. Notably, this bill states, "How the state and its local governmental entities choose to raise, allocate, and spend financial resources to implement this integrated public education system is a political policy matter reserved to legislative and executive judgment and control." This pushes back against New Hampshire Supreme Court rulings on what the state must fund for an adequate education.

HB 1268 (2026)

A conference committee of representatives and senators agreed to require a local tax cap vote at both the 2026 and 2028 general elections.
HB 323 (2025)

Defines sex based on biology for statutory purposes and requires public schools and government buildings to designate bathrooms and locker rooms based on biological sex, while allowing private entities to do the same.
The Senate rewrote the bill to allow, but not require, separation based on biological sex in bathrooms, locker rooms, sports, prisons, and treatment centers.
HB 56 (2025)

Increases the maximum compensation for first responders' critical injury benefits from $500,000 to $1,000,000.

HB 324 (2025)
