Due to the fact that ordinary mom’s and dad’s with dedication made your voices heard to your elected officials it’s starting to pay off.

While enacting laws (especially good laws!) can generally take years and multiple legislative sessions, we have seen some victories already this year.

Numerous states have introduced Bills to preserve parental rights

The following 14 states already have these laws on the books:
West Virginia, Kansas, Michigan, Texas, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, Nevada Virginia, Oklahoma, Idaho Wyoming, Florida and Montana

Various other states below are working to join above states or they are trying to reinforce the existing laws in order to protect Parental Rights. The curriculum is included in many of these bills to ensure that parents with children in public schools have access to the curriculum in order to know what is teached to their children.

(Colo. Rev. Stat. § 13-22-1071[III]) already has this public policy which support parental rights.
They are introducing House Bill 22-1236, The Parent’s Bill Of Rights. https://leg.colorado.gov/sites/default/files/documents/2022A/bills/2022a_1236_01.pdf

It will give teeth to current law by stating: “The state, any political subdivision of the state, or any other governmental entity or institution shall not infringe upon the fundamental right of a parent to direct the upbringing, education, and health care of the parent’s minor child without demonstrating that the compelling governmental interest, as applied to the minor child involved, is of the highest order, is narrowly tailored, and cannot be accomplished in a less restrictive manner.

South Dakota:
This state has no Bill yet to put in place the fundamental right of a parent. House Bill 1246, https://sdlegislature.gov/Session/Bill/23092 was introduced in the House.
Parental rights, president, Will Estrada, testified before the House Judiciary Committee, and the bill unanimously passed out of committee. It then passed the House on a 63–5 vote.

Parentalrights.org also works on the following positive legislation.

House Bill 1612, https://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/bill_status/billinfo.aspx?id=1143&inflect=2 In New Hampshire on March 15, passed in the house with a 175–161 vote and is pending in the US Senate. This Bill is about protecting families against unnecessary investigations of Child Protective Services by replacing anonymous reporting about child neglect and abuse to confidential reporting.
Second, ParentalRights.org works on legislation to protect innocent families from the trauma of unnecessary CPS investigations. In New Hampshire, which would replace reporting of child abuse and neglect with confidential reporting, passed the House on March 15 on a 175–161 vote and is pending in the Senate.

ParentalRights.org is also working to oppose dangerous legislation.

We are pleased to report that a dangerous grandparent visitation bill in West Virginia that would have stripped parental rights from the law has died in committee. While we recognize the incredible role that loving grandparents and great-grandparents play in their grandchildren’s lives, not every situation is ideal, and state law must respect the decisions of fit parents. And a dangerous curriculum transparency bill in Ohio that inexplicably requires private and homeschools to publish their curriculum has stalled and is going nowhere.

These victories cannot be achieved without dedicated dad’s, mom’s, grandparents, and other supporters of parental rights. It’s because supporters like the above, had read ParentalRight’s action alerts and acted upon it, by calling state legislators.

Together, we are hard at work in state legislatures across the nation to support these efforts, and the results have been incredible!
