The New Hampshire Department of Education and Department of Health and Human Services have partnered with the Department of Defense (DOD) to bring the Purple Star School Program to the Granite State, assisting military families and promoting the value of military service and civic responsibility.

Rep. Terry Roy authored groundbreaking legislation relative to educational and employment opportunities and protections for military families and their dependents. This omnibus bill required licensing boards to issue a license within 30 days; allows for advance enrollment with military orders; provides open enrollment flexibility with placement stability for military-connected students; guarantees in-state tuition continuity; establishes military parent student support mechanisms in schools; and creates state employment protections for members of the National Guard.

Thanks to Representative Terry Roy, Chapter 77 of 2022 alters statutory jurisdiction at Pease Air National Guard Base to concurrent for violations of federal law by a minor. The law also requires the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services to coordinate and share information with the nearest military family advocacy program if there is a founded allegation of child abuse or neglect at the onset of an investigation implicating military personnel.
