Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
1 New Section; Town Elections; Officers Serving on Other Boards. Amend RSA 669 by inserting after section 9 the following new section:
669:9-a Elected Officers Serving on Other Boards. An elected member of a local board, commission, committee, or council specified in this chapter who is also appointed to, serving on, or is a liaison to another local board in the same jurisdiction, shall be a nonvoting, ex officio member of any such local board to which the person was not elected.
2 Cooperative School Districts; Budget Committee; Members. Amend RSA 195:12-a, I to read as follows:
I. A cooperative school district at an annual meeting, under a proper article in the warrant, may vote to establish a budget committee pursuant to RSA 32:14 and may rescind such action in a like manner. The budget committee shall have the same number of members as the cooperative district school board plus one additional member from the school board as provided in this paragraph. The terms of office and manner of election of members shall be determined in the same manner as for the cooperative school board. Whenever it is voted to establish a budget committee, the moderator in the first instance shall appoint the members of the budget committee, except for the additional member appointed from the school board, within 15 days of the vote establishing the committee. The members appointed by the moderator shall serve until the next annual meeting when the meeting shall elect their successors. No member of the cooperative school board shall be appointed or elected to the budget committee except that the chairperson of the cooperative school board shall appoint a member of the board to serve on the budget committee [with all the powers and duties of any other member] and who shall be a nonvoting, ex officio member of the committee. After appointment or election the budget committee shall promptly organize and choose a chairperson, vice-chairperson, and secretary. The secretary shall keep records of the proceedings of the budget committee, which shall be public records open to public inspection.
3 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.
