This bill amends New Hampshire's education laws to prohibit the inclusion of any materials created or provided by the World Economic Forum in the curriculum of public schools. Specifically, it modifies RSA 193-E:2-a, V(a) to state that the curriculum must not include any lectures, lesson plans, or other educational materials from the World Economic Forum. Additionally, a new paragraph is added to RSA 186:11, designated as XXXVIII, which explicitly prohibits all public schools from using such materials in their curriculum.
The bill emphasizes the responsibility of local educators to develop and implement curriculum that meets state standards while ensuring that it does not incorporate World Economic Forum content. The effective date of this legislation is set for 60 days after its passage, which is August 19, 2026. This act was approved on June 20, 2026, and was enacted without the governor's signature, in accordance with the New Hampshire Constitution.
