Ayotte signs ‘parental bill of rights' bill into law in N.H., fulfilling key GOP goal
Protesters gathered in the hallway outside of Ayotte's office ahead of the signing to express their opposition to the bills. Advertisement The parental bill of rights, Get N.H. Morning Report A weekday newsletter delivering the N.H. news you need to know right to your inbox. Enter Email Sign Up It states that, 'All parental rights are reserved to the parents of a minor child in this state without obstruction or interference from any school.' Under the new law, a parent can bring a lawsuit against the school for relief and monetary damages if they believe their parental rights have been violated. Advertisement The law is also meant to require new notifications to parents about their rights. It requires school boards to post a copy of the parental bill of rights on their website and in their school handbook, in addition to developing policies to promote parental involvement and establish procedures so parents can object to instructional materials. 'I am glad to sign it as a mom of two children, and I can tell you that as I look at the children who are here today, there's nothing more important for the future of New Hampshire than our children,' Ayotte said. The bill includes a new mandatory disclosure provision that has sparked controversy. The measure requires school personnel to provide 'accurate, truthful, and complete disclosure regarding any and all matters related to their minor child' within 10 business days if an immediate answer cannot be provided. That measure has drawn criticism from LGBTQ and civil liberties advocates, who said it could require educators to forcibly 'out' children to their parents. 'Politicians likewise chose to insert themselves in conversations between young people, their parents, and teachers, by passing bills that would require teachers to reveal a student's gender or sexuality, rather than suggest a conversation between the parent and their student,' said Linds Jakows, the founder of 603 Equality, in a statement calling on Ayotte to veto HB 10. Democrats have also raised concerns over language in the bill that they said would raise the bar for reporting child abuse to 'clear and convincing evidence.' Deb Howes, president of the AFT-NH, a teacher's union, shared those concerns. 'Most of the things are already in state law, but one thing this bill does is it changes standards for reporting abuse and standards for DCYF to act on it,' she said. Advertisement 'There are going to be instances where you're putting children in danger,' she said. Republicans have argued the bill will not impact reporting of child abuse, and they have celebrated the passage of the legislation, which was among their priorities. 'Gone are the days of parents being purposefully and vindictively kept in the dark and lied to when they inquire and voice their concerns about their children,' said Representative Deb DeSimone, an Atkinson Republican and chair of the House Children and Family Law Committee in a statement ahead of the bill signing. 'HB 10 affirms that parents have a voice and the ultimate say in their children's education, cementing that parents and teachers are partners in education.' House Majority Leader Jason Osborne called the advancement of both bills 'major victories.' 'These aren't just policy wins—they're proof of what happens when we hold the line and play hard-nosed, disciplined ball,' he said in a statement last week after the Legislature sent the bills to Ayotte's desk. Ayotte also signed 'As a mom, I can't think of anything more important than making sure that every child in this state has the opportunity to reach his or her full potential in the setting that works best for them in terms of education,' Ayotte said on Tuesday.

Former Beaufort mayor to receive highest award in S.C.
BEAUFORT, S.C. (WSAV) — A former mayor for the City of Beaufort will be crowned by South Carolina state representative Shannon Erickson with the highest award in South Carolina. Billy Keyserling will receive the Palmetto Award for his dedication to public service for over 50 years. Keyserling has worked on Capitol Hill, was a state legislature, a city councilman, reigned Beaufort for 12 years, and now runs two non-profit organizations. Keyserling told WSAV that he's received many awards in his lifetime, but this is one of the highest honors. 'I'm very excited about it. I'm honored. I'm humbled,' said Keyserling. 'I'm appreciative of Stacy Applegate, who basically, unbeknownst to me, started a campaign to talk to Representative Erickson and got a bunch of letters written by people I've worked with over the last 50 years. And I was selected to do it. So, I'd say honored, humbled and have a lot of gratitude for the people I've worked with over the years.' Keyserling said he chose to have the award presented at city hall, because that's the place he called his second home for many years and did some of his best work. The award will be presented on Tuesday, June 10 at Beaufort's city council meeting. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
