New Hampshire Campus Carry Bill Killed After Senate Guts HB 1793

Summary

New Hampshire's campus carry bill, HB 1793, was effectively killed after the Senate passed it with a "poison pill" amendment on May 14, 2026, removing its key provisions. The House rejected the amendment and called for a conference committee, but the Senate refused this request on May 21, 2026, ending the bill's legislative journey for the year. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Samuel Farrington, sought to eliminate the ability of public higher education institutions to infringe on Second Amendment rights on campus.
