====================================================================== From the HSLDA E-lert Service... ====================================================================== New Hampshire--Calls Needed - Good Homeschool Bill Urgently Needs Your Help Dear HSLDA Members and Friends: Your calls are needed immediately to convince the New Hampshire Senate to support HB 406 as passed by the House of Representatives. The bill will remove needless paperwork requirements involving curriculum, tables of contents, scope and sequence, and book lists. Although the Senate Education Committee attached a harmful amendment to HB 406, we understand that this was primarily due to a drafting problem, and was not the intention of the committee. Senator Peter Bragdon, the Chairman of the Senate Education Committee, will stand in the Senate tomorrow to remove this harmful amendment. The battle will then be for the heart and soul of the bill itself whether the Senate will pass HB 406 with the same excellent language the House adopted, or whether the Senate will amend the bill to make first time homeschoolers submit the needless paperwork. ACTION REQUESTED Please call your own senator immediately. Your message can be as simple as: "Please support HB 406 as passed by the House. It is a good bill that will eliminate needless paperwork and restrictions on families who choose to homeschool." To find contact information for your senator, go to http://capwiz.com/hslda/home/ . BACKGROUND INFORMATION 1. The Senate Education Committee voted in favor of the harmful amendment before actually seeing it in writing. When the committee finally saw it in writing, they realized it was not what they intended. We believe this was a result of ordinary miscommunication and did not involve the breaking of any Senate rule. The members of the committee do not support the amendment as it was actually drafted, and we can be confident this amendment will be removed tomorrow. 2. If the Senate were to pass the bill in a form different than the form passed by the House, it would be referred to a conference committee. If the conference committee members could not agree on language, the bill would die. If they did agree on language, the bill would go back to one or both houses for approval. Or, the Senate could vote to "re refer" the bill to the Senate Education Committee, in which case the bill would receive no further action this year, but would be ready for committee attention in the Senate in the next legislative session.
