The "Right To Challenge Act" mandates that local school boards establish and publicly display a policy to address complaints from parents or guardians regarding materials deemed obscene and harmful to minors. The bill introduces a new subdivision to RSA 189, specifically section 189:74-a, which defines "material" and outlines what constitutes "material considered harmful to minors." It requires each school board to adopt a policy by November 1, 2026, that includes the definition of harmful material and to post this policy on the district's website.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that by November 1, 2027, school boards must implement a procedure for handling complaints about materials that are harmful, age-inappropriate, or otherwise offensive. This procedure includes steps for submitting complaints, investigating allegations, and providing written responses to complainants. The school board must also allow for appeals of decisions made by the superintendent or designee, ensuring transparency and public record-keeping of all decisions related to these complaints. The bill deletes any existing provisions that may conflict with these new requirements, thereby streamlining the process for addressing concerns about school materials.
