Bill > HB662

This bill requires public high schools in New Hampshire to annually show students two out of three specific videos about abortion procedures during health education classes, focusing on computer-generated animations depicting chemical and surgical abortion processes in the first and second trimesters. The videos, developed by an organization called Live Action, are intended to be part of health and wellness education for students in grades 9-12. The bill defines "abortion procedures discussion" and "human sexuality instruction" and mandates that schools submit proof of compliance to the Department of Education. Additionally, the legislation prohibits schools from providing or referring students to abortion services and prevents organizations that provide abortion services from offering course materials. The bill gives the state Attorney General the authority to enforce these requirements and take legal action against any entities that violate the provisions. Schools are specifically barred from working with abortion service providers in any educational context related to human sexuality. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and while the fiscal impact is currently considered indeterminable, it is expected to potentially create varying compliance costs for different school districts.
