HB1156 declares that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO) have no jurisdiction in New Hampshire. State and local entities are prohibited from enforcing or collaborating with any mandates, recommendations, or guidance from these organizations. Additionally, their directives cannot be used to justify mask, vaccine, or medical testing requirements in the state.
The New Hampshire State House of Representatives rejected HB1156 on March 14, 2024 by a vote of 181 to 190. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the CDC and WHO lack constitutional authority over Americans, making nullification necessary. The CDC is an unconstitutional federal agency, and the U.S. involvement with the WHO undermines sovereignty. According to Article VI, Clause 2, federal laws must align with the Constitution to be valid. Any law contrary to the Constitution is void. Article VI, Clause 3, binds state officials to support the Constitution, meaning New Hampshire legislators have a duty to resist federal overreach. Nullification is the constitutional remedy to curb government excess.
