SB 668 New Hampshire Senate · 2026 Regular Session

authorizing a historic marker on a highway for the purpose of acknowledging the abuse of former residents of the youth development center.

SB 668 directs New Hampshire's Historical Resources Council to create a highway marker acknowledging the abuse suffered by former residents of the New Hampshire Youth Development Center (YDC). The marker will be developed with input from former residents and consider public reports of sexual and physical abuse, aiming to recognize the trauma experienced. The Council must finalize the marker's content in collaboration with the Department of Transportation, with placement required after the YDC property is sold or by June 30, 2028. This bill directly affects former YDC residents by formally acknowledging their experiences and informs the public through a historical marker along a highway.
