HB1392 removes the ability of the governing body or budget committee to give a written recommendation on a warrant article on the ballot.

HB1392 amends RSA 32:5, V to change how appropriations are recommended in warrant articles. It removes the requirement for the governing body or budget committee to provide a written recommendation on the ballot. If the article is amended at the first session, the governing body and budget committee can revise their recommendation for the second session, but the 10 percent limitation on expenditures will be based on the initial budget committee recommendation. This change takes effect 60 days after the bill's passage.
