New Hampshire Implements 2025 Law Changes

As of January 1, 2025, New Hampshire has enacted several new laws, including a ban on gender-affirming care for minors, which prohibits medical professionals from assisting minors in gender transition. The legislation, part of a broader trend across the U.S., has drawn criticism and legal challenges, particularly regarding its implications for equal protection under the law. In contrast, 2024 saw some significant victories for transgender rights in other states, such as Montana and Texas, where bans on gender-affirming care were blocked by courts. The U.S. Supreme Court is set to review Tennessee's law restricting such care, amidst arguments that it discriminates against transgender youth. Additionally, new laws in various states address issues like data privacy and AI regulations, reflecting ongoing legislative shifts following a contentious election cycle. These developments indicate a complex landscape for transgender rights and healthcare access in the U.S.
