HB6 recognizes that the government may not burden certain fundamental rights of parents.
The House passed HB6 on May 31, 2023, by a vote of 87 to 8. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because the upbringing, care, and control of children belongs to—and is a fundamental right of—parents, not the government. Parental rights, as with all other fundamental rights, are protected by the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
