Lisa Mazur, Representative of New Hampshire, announced that two bills restricting puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries for youth have passed the legislature and are now headed to the Governor’s desk. The statement was made on X.
“It’s official! NH’s House & Senate just passed HB377 & HB712 (no more harmful puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones & irreversible surgeries,” said Liza Mazur, Representatives. “They’re now off to the Governor’s desk. Thank you to the LGB Courage Coalition for coming alongside us, and helping to get them over the finish line!”
New Hampshire lawmakers advanced HB377 and HB712 in 2025 to ban puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and most gender-affirming surgeries for minors. According to the New Hampshire Bulletin, both bills passed along party lines and await Governor Sununu’s decision. HB377 classifies such care for youth as a felony, while HB712 specifically prohibits chest surgeries except in rare cases. This reflects the state’s legislative shift on transgender youth medical policy.
According to New Hampshire Public Radio, only a “very, very small number” of teens in the state receive gender-affirming care such as puberty blockers or hormone therapy. There is no evidence of widespread use among minors. Major medical groups support these treatments; however, state-specific data remain limited and confidential.
The KFF Gender-Affirming Care Policy Tracker indicates that as of February 2025, New Hampshire is one of 27 states to restrict gender-affirming care for minors by banning hormones and surgery but allowing some continuation clauses. This legislative approach is similar to new laws in Iowa and Missouri but stands in contrast to “shield” states like Vermont, which protect access.
LegiScan reports that Mazur is a Republican state representative for Hillsborough District 44. She is the sponsor of HB377 and a member of the Health, Human Services & Elderly Affairs Committee. Her legislative focus includes limiting gender-affirming care for minors and supporting other conservative health policies.
