====================================================================== From the HSLDA E-lert Service... ====================================================================== Victory: HB 1440 Passes with GOOD Amendment Dear HSLDA Members and Friends, The New Hampshire House listened to your emails and calls and passed HB 1440 with Minority Amendment No. 0645. This bill allows parents to choose an online driver's training program without the additional requirement of behind-the-wheel training with a driving school instructor and could save families hundreds of dollars. Please be ready to take action, if necessary, to help HB 1440 pass the Senate. It has been a busy legislative season, and the March 29 crossover deadline for bills is quickly approaching. The crossover deadline is the last day the House is allowed to take action on bills before sending them over to the Senate, and vice versa. HSLDA is tracking a number of bills that would affect homeschoolers in New Hampshire. Here is a brief summary and updated status of these bills: > HB 545 provides for one-time only homeschool notification; passed the House; introduced in the Senate and referred to the Senate Education Committee. > HB 1139 changes the unique pupil identification system for homeschoolers requiring an opt-in instead of today's opt-out; Education Committee recommended passing the bill as amended; waiting for floor vote by the full House. > HB 1162 establishes a committee to study the effects of compulsory school attendance on children and families; voted inexpedient to legislate (ITL). > HB 1360 requires the State Board of Education to submit proposed rules to the House and Senate education committees for approval; passed House Education Committee; being considered by Executive Departments and Administration Committee. > HB 1382 requires a truant officer to get a warrant or parental permission before returning a child to school; voted ITL. > HB 1440 provides for online driver's education; passed the House with minority amendment as requested - Thank you for your calls! > HB 1536 prohibits the government from substantially burdening a person's free exercise of religion; voted ITL. > HB 1571 changes the homeschool law to require parents to keep a copy of an evaluation rather than having to send it to a participating agency; passed the House; introduced in the Senate and referred to Senate Education Committee. > HB 1607/SB 372 establishes an education tax credit; HB 1607 is being considered by the House Ways and Means Committee; the Senate Education Committee recommended passing SB 372 with an amendment. Please stay tuned for action e-lerts as we continue to monitor the status of these bills.
