relative to a parent's ability to raise their child in a manner consistent with the child's biological sex and relative to breast surgeries for minors.
Signed by Governor Ayotte 07/15/2026; Chapter 326; eff.09/13/2026
Summary
HB 1376 amends state statutes so that parenting decisions based on a child’s biological sex cannot be used as grounds for child‑abuse, neglect, or endangerment findings. It also bars adoption agencies, licensing boards, and courts from treating a parent’s refusal to support gender transition as a negative factor in placement or best‑interest determinations. The change protects parents and guardians from legal actions tied to gender‑related parenting choices.
