Legislative Updates


NASW NH is actively involved with our State Legislature. From professional and licensure issues to fighting for social justice, we are being heard. Our agenda is set by our Social & Legislative Action Committee with considerable input from our other Chapter Committees. Our lobbyist, John DeJoie, MSW, keeps us abreast of upcoming legislative hearings, votes, changes and actions. During the NH Legislative Session, NASW NH Members receive regular email updates and calls to action. We also frequently let our Facebook followers know about upcoming issues and victories.

April 2025 Testimony

NASW NH Executive Director, Lynn Currier, provided strong testimony against SB268, a bill "permitting classification of individuals based on biological sex under certain limited circumstances." Lynn voiced deep concern about the impact this bill could have on social workers’ clients, both within the LGBTQIA+ community and beyond, emphasizing that rather than protecting women, the bill ultimately causes them harm.
