CACR 28 New Hampshire House · 2026 Regular Session

relating to morality and piety. Providing that town, parishes, bodies corporate, or religious societies may elect and contract with teachers.

CACR 28 proposes a constitutional amendment to New Hampshire's Article 6, granting towns, parishes, religious societies, and other groups the right to elect and contract with their own teachers for religious and moral instruction within Christian denominations. It would prohibit compelling individuals to pay for teachers of a different Christian denomination and ensure all Christian groups receive equal legal protection without establishing religious hierarchies. This amendment requires voter approval in the November 2026 general election to take effect.
