🪦HB1165: Bill Hearings & Public Record
HB1165 Anti-Trans Legislation targeting state IDs
Official Title: relative to gender designation on state-issued identification.
Bill Sponsors: (Prime) King (R), Berry (R), Cambrils (R), Granger (R), Perez (R), Sellers (R), Panek (R)
This bill removes the "X" designation on NH Drivers Licenses and identification cards. It’s a targeted attack on gender diverse individuals in New Hampshire, forcing folks to align their state-issued IDs with the sex assigned at birth and designated on their birth certificates. There are many reasons why individuals may choose an “X” designation on state ID - including because they are genderfluid, non-binary, or intersex. This bill would cause legal chaos if signed into law, forcing some individuals to have their state ID be misaligned with their federal ID, and/or have it completely mischaracterize their identity, biology, and presentation.
HB1788: Bill Hearings & Public Record
HB 1788 is a bill that seeks to immediately terminate all contracts held by state agencies, municipalities, and schools with any organization that references any of their services. This bill would be in contradiction with federal regulations surrounding Medicare and Medicaid (nursing homes and healthcare providers often are required to have staff take training to understand religious differences in care) and school professional development (many PD training required by educators must include elements that empower teachers to meet diverse student populations). This bill works in opposition to two of our policy platform pillars: affirming environments and economic safety.
