repealing buffer zones for reproductive health care facilities.
Inexpedient to Legislate: MA RC 171-163 03/11/2026 HJ 7 P. 238
Summary
The bill removes RSA 132:37‑40, which barred people from entering or staying on public ways near reproductive health‑care facilities. It would let anyone stand, speak, or distribute literature on sidewalks outside those clinics. Supporters say the change protects First Amendment rights, while opponents argue it could increase harassment of patients and staff.
