This bill establishes the New Hampshire Seal of Civic Excellence and Engagement Program, which allows school boards and school administrative unit boards to award a seal to graduating high school students who meet specific criteria in civics education and engagement. The criteria for receiving the seal include successful completion of civics education beyond minimum requirements, demonstrated proficiency in civics knowledge through assessments, and participation in extracurricular activities or student government that reflect civic engagement. The state board of education is tasked with adopting rules to ensure consistent application of these criteria across schools.

Additionally, the bill amends RSA 194 by inserting a new section that mandates the inclusion of a designation on the transcript of students who receive the seal, starting with the graduating class of 2027. The legal language added includes provisions for the establishment of the program and the criteria for awarding the seal, while no specific deletions from current law are noted in the text provided. The act is set to take effect on July 4, 2026.
