To the editor:

Gov. Chris Sununu just signed HB 1240 into law, a bill with very high bipartisan support that will close a dangerous loophole in New Hampshire law. The bill will ban sexual contact between school employees and students and expands the definition of sexual assault to include any sexual contact between school employees and students between the ages of 13 and 18.
