Complete·4/22/26

New Hampshire HB1246 regulates planning board members' service on other local boards, including recusal from voting on certain matters.

New Hampshire HB1246 amends the state's Revised Statutes to specify that planning board members can serve on other municipal boards or commissions, with a limit on serving on the conservation commission, local governing body, or local land use boards. It also mandates that members must recuse themselves from voting on matters previously decided by another board in a quasi-judicial capacity where they participated as a voting member.
