HB1085 modifies the authority of police commissions in New Hampshire, limiting their powers and budget expenditures.
HB1085 restricts the authority of police commissions in New Hampshire by limiting their powers to appointing police personnel, establishing pay scales, and enforcing rules for police operations. It prohibits commissions from authorizing the expenditure of unused or unencumbered funds for salary increases beyond step raises based on years of service and position rank. The bill also mandates that any unexpended funds for vacant positions must only support those positions once filled and that unused funds must lapse to the unreserved fund balance at the fiscal year's end.
