Two New England states moved in opposite directions on homeschool oversight in the same week. Connecticut's HB 5468 sits on Governor Lamont's desk after a 22-14 Senate vote on May 4 and would require annual in-person registration plus a child abuse and neglect registry check for every adult in the household. Two states north, the New Hampshire Senate voted on May 8 to lift the state's homeschool notification rule, recordkeeping duty, and annual evaluation.
