Bill > HB1077

This bill amends the existing New Hampshire school curriculum requirements to explicitly include domestic violence prevention as a mandatory topic within health education, physical education, and wellness instruction for pupils. Specifically, the bill modifies the existing law to add "domestic" before "sexual violence" in the list of required educational topics, which already includes other critical health and safety subjects like drug prevention, child abuse awareness, HIV/AIDS education, and sexually transmitted disease information. By mandating this addition, the bill aims to ensure that students receive comprehensive education about relationship violence and its impacts as part of their standard school curriculum. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, giving schools time to update their instructional materials and prepare to implement the new requirement.
