Concord, NH — A coalition of leading liberty-focused organizations in New Hampshire is calling on Governor Kelly Ayotte to sign a sweeping legislative package aimed at reinforcing the rights of parents to direct and control the upbringing of their children. Known as the “Parental Rights Package,” this group of seven bills positions New Hampshire at the forefront of a growing national movement to reassert parental authority in education, healthcare, and family life.
The coalition—composed of RebuildNH, Young Americans for Liberty, Citizens Alliance of New Hampshire, New Hampshire Liberty Alliance, and Health Freedom NH—praised the General Court’s efforts to pass this comprehensive set of laws and urged the governor to act quickly in enshrining them into law.
“These bills collectively ensure that parents—not government institutions—retain the primary role in guiding their children’s development,” said Melissa Blasek, executive director of RebuildNH. “This package embodies New Hampshire’s commitment to freedom and personal responsibility. It’s time to lead the nation once again.”
The Parental Rights Package includes the following bills:
Together, these bills form a comprehensive and unified framework that prioritizes family rights, government transparency, and child protection.
“The Parental Rights Package is about trust—trusting parents to know what’s best for their children,” said Dan Gray, executive director of Citizens Alliance of New Hampshire. “Governor Ayotte has an opportunity to affirm the rights of every New Hampshire family and to send a clear message that our state values liberty and family sovereignty.”
The coalition emphasized that passing this package into law would further enhance New Hampshire’s reputation as one of the most freedom-minded and family-friendly states in the nation.
Supported by New Hampshire’s leading liberty organizations
