HB1134

New Hampshire HB1134 amends the town meeting warrant process, ensuring all articles are debated and voted on before adjournment.

New Hampshire HB1134 modifies the town meeting warrant process by requiring every article to be acted upon before final adjournment. It mandates that if a ballot vote is needed for a warrant article, the moderator must ensure the ballot is conducted. For towns using official ballots, approved appropriations accumulate in the order of approval. The bill also specifies that all warrant articles require a simple majority for approval, except those needing a higher majority by law. The changes take effect 60 days after the bill's passage.
