Selected quotes

A physician or other health care professional shall not provide gender transition procedures to any individual under 18 years of age. II. A physician or other health care professional shall not refer any individual under 18 years of age to any health care professional for gender transition procedures.

Prohibition on Use of Public Funds for Gender Transition Care. I. Public funds shall not be directly or indirectly used, granted, paid, or distributed to any entity, organization, or individual that provides gender transition procedures to an individual under 18 years of age.

Insurance Coverage. I. No insurer that issues or renews a policy for health insurance under RSA 415, health service corporation under RSA 420-A, or health maintenance organization under RSA 420-B shall include reimbursement for gender transition procedures for a person under 18 years of age.

Forcing a student to share a restroom, locker/changing room or shower with a student of the opposite sex is a direct contradiction to the concept of modesty and is a clear government interference in a parent's right to teach their children as their faith, or personal moral code allows.

Teaching a student that there are more than two genders infringes on a parent's right to be the sole educator in matters of faith, morals and sexuality, as many religious faiths teach that there are but two genders; male and female.

Teaching a student that they are free to choose their own gender, name, pronoun, or sexual orientation violates a parent's right as sole educator related to matters of faith, morals and matters relating to sexuality and is a government violation of that right.

All public schools in kindergarten through grade 12 in New Hampshire shall refer to children by the name and gender that they are enrolled as. This shall apply to all verbal and written communications, records, or in any other way that the students may be referenced. Schools shall not allow the teaching of different pronouns other than those in common use in the English language when referring to the male or female.

In any New Hampshire public school that offers regular or extracurricular activities that are separated by gender or sex (male or female), any student participating shall only be allowed to participate in the group that corresponds to their biological sex as listed at their time of birth. No student shall be discriminated against by not being allowed to participate in such an activity based on their personally identifying as a gender other than that identified at their time of birth but they shall nonetheless only participate in the activity that corresponds to their biological sex at their time of birth.

School restrooms shall be separated by sex (male and female), and students may only use the restroom that corresponds to their biological sex as listed on their birth certificate.
