permitting classification of individuals based on biological sex under certain limited circumstances.
Veto Sustained 08/19/2026: RC 165-149 Lacking Necessary Two-Thirds Vote HJ 16 P. 36
Summary
HB 1442 would change New Hampshire statutes to define "male" and "female" based on reproductive anatomy and the presence of a functional Y chromosome. It would force public schools, municipal buildings and correctional facilities to segregate bathrooms, locker rooms and inmate housing by that biological sex, and would let private businesses limit bathroom use to one sex. The bill also creates a new trespass offense for men entering female‑only spaces, with limited exceptions.
