HB 68: AN ACT relative to the definition of child abuse.
SPONSORS: Rep. Testerman, Merr. 2
COMMITTEE: Children and Family Law
This bill adds sexual reassignment to the definition of an abused child in RSA 169-C, the child protection act.
1 Definition of Abused Child; Sexual Reassignment Added. Amend RSA 169-C:3, II(f) to read as follows:
(f) Subjected to an act prohibited by RSA 632-A:10-d; or
(g) Subjected to drug treatments or surgery in an attempt to alter the sex of the child assigned at birth, except in rare cases of ambiguous genitalia. For purposes of this subparagraph, ambiguous genitalia refers to a medical condition in which a child's gender at birth is in question because the genitals do not appear clearly male or female.
2 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.
A Republican, Rep. Testerman is following in the footsteps of Republicans all across the US who are introducing draconian legislation that will cause irreparable damage to children all because the new Republican party hates anything LGBTQ+.
New Hampshire is the fifteenth state to introduce anti-trans legislation, and my guess there are many more to come.
Do you remember when the Republican party said that they wanted to get the government out of your lives?
