SB572 is nominally a bill about New Hampshire hospital real estate, but nearly all testimony addresses a non-germane amendment that would revive HB1616 (tabled last session), barring state and local government agencies from using public funds to advertise or promote vaccines. Testimony is overwhelmingly opposed to this amendment, including from several submissions tagged 'support' that clarify they support the underlying real-estate bill but oppose the added vaccine-advertising restriction; no submission was found substantively defending the restriction itself. Opponents argue the amendment is an improper legislative maneuver, would silence important public health communication, risk federal funding, and reflects anti-science political influence rather than sound health policy.

    I oppose the non-germane amendment, which is the text of HB 1616. This is a replace-all amendment to bring back HB 1616, which was tabled last session. HB 1616 is an anti-vaccine bill that would prohibit “any state agency or political subdivision from using public funds to advertise or otherwise promote vaccines."

: By prohibiting state agencies and local governments from advertising vaccines or spending any money on vaccine advertising, SB572 would limit families knowledge about access to vaccines. This silences the state's ability to communicate with families about vaccine-preventable diseases during outbreaks or to provide educational resources to health care providers. This bill could also jeopardize up to $3.5 million in federal immunization funding if the state cannot meet federal requirements for public education and communication. Families deserve to have up-to-date health information and should know when their children face health risks or accessible healthcare is available in their community.

This non-germane amendment has NO business in this bill. Further, it promotes what would be a public health travesty. This language deserves quick removal from this legislation!

Vaccine education is crucial to New Hampshire. I have family in the state who are considered immunocompromised, so the risk of them becoming sick when vaccines could have been used as prevention is not one I am willing to take.

Ann CarlsonOpposeKeene, NHfor Myselfflagged non-germaneMar 25, 2026

I oppose the non-germane amendment, which is the text of HB 1616. This bill would silence the state's ability to communicate with families about vaccine options and eliminate essential educational resources for public health.

Christine OjendykOpposeHopkinton, NHfor Myselfflagged non-germaneMar 25, 2026

As a finance professional and a parent, I know that vaccines are both cost effective and save lives by mitigating the health risks associated with preventable diseases. The widespread use of the Polio vaccine proved this over seventy years ago. I support free speech and educating health care providers and New Hampshire families on vaccines. Also, I’m concerned that up to $3.5 million in federal immunization funding might be jeopardized if the state cannot meet the federal requirements for public education and communication. Therefore I oppose this SB 572.

Kenneth DolkartOpposeGrantham, NHfor MyselfMar 25, 2026

Using subterfuge to actively undermine children's protection from serious disease would be the plot of evil-doers in a way-out fictional novel! Vaccines and medical science have created a US world of child protection from infectious disease in which vaccine deniers can safely synthesize their cock-eyed theories. That is not fiction. Vaccines causing autism IS fiction. It is mind-bending that radicalized conspiracy collectors, trolls and personal haters of the elites of established science would apply their fevered political conviction to halt the promotion of the vaccines which have protected all of us for 70 years. Please restore sanity to our Statehouse.

I strongly oppose the non-germane amendment which has been added to HB 1616.

Easy access to information about keeping families safe is essential! There's a reason NH families have been so healthy historically - they know how to protect their children because they've been taught how. Don't threaten the future health of NH.
