@DukeOfManch I believe it was Prentiss that introduced the amendment but she could not have successfully amended it on without Rochefort’s approval and he fought to keep it in CoC
Unfortunately, we counted our chickens before they had hatched.
The NH Senate added an anti-free market healthcare bill that would have reduced healthcare access onto this school based healthcare bill. This couldn’t be allowed to stay so the bill was sent to Committee of Conference.
HB360 fell prey to a series of legislative games and shenanigans in Committee of Conference and died yesterday.
We are very disappointed.
BREAKING:
Today the Senate passed HB360 — a bill that would effectively BAN school-based health clinics in our state. The House is expected to concur next week, sending it straight to the governor’s desk.
Parents across the country have watched schools drift further from education and deeper into private medical decisions that belong in the home. We cannot ignore the real dangers we’ve already seen unfold.
In Maine, one child was reportedly prescribed THREE forms of hormonal birth control at the same time — without parental consent.
Below is testimony from our executive director before Senate HHS on why schools should focus on education, not operate as medical clinics behind parents’ backs.
HB1268 offers home educators the chance at something radical- self governance.
Are portfolios and year end assessments a good idea? Yes. They are.
Do good ideas require the force of law? No. They don’t.
I’m happy to see groups like Granite State Home Educators encouraging their members to continue best practices even without the force of law.
Let’s be free. Let’s practice self-governance.
BREAKING: New Hampshire House just passed the Home Education Freedom Act.
The concurrence vote was 178-170.
The Senate already passed it 14–8.
It now goes to Governor Kelly Ayotte's desk.
Home Education Freedom Act- HB1268- officially heads to Gov Kelly Ayotte!
While current NH home education law is not onerous- they have documentation requirements but no one must currently submit any documentation other than a one time letter of intent- the Home Education Freedom Act does something very important that current law does not:
It recognizes the right of every parent to educate their child and moves from a permissive model to a right’s based model.
@wellingtonkims Dude, quit while you’re ahead. Just because YOU don’t know what’s going on, doesn’t mean it’s fake.
NH is the last state to get them but they are everywhere. It’s not like some secret or conspiracy.
First in NH with many more announced to follow https://t.co/muVJ7ttEIT
