(The Center Square) — The New Hampshire House of Representatives has narrowly approved a parental rights bill that would lift the state's restrictions on homeschooling students.

The legislation would remove a requirement that parents notify school districts when they’ve decided to homeschool their children and make annual progress evaluations of home-schooled students voluntary. The bill passed 174-166, with a dozen Republicans joining with House Democrats in opposing it.
