Allows municipalities, cities, and towns to review and approve school budgets.

New Hampshire HB1220 amends RSA 194-C:9-a to allow school districts to vote on adopting an alternative budget procedure. This procedure would grant local governing bodies, such as city councils, the authority to review and control voting authority for approving school budgets. The bill outlines procedures for voting on this alternative method, including the option for a recount if requested by a registered voter. If adopted, the new procedure would take effect 60 days after the bill's passage.
