New Hampshire HB1394 allows municipal officers to place a charter amendment on the ballot changing the municipality's form of government.
New Hampshire HB1394 amends RSA 49-B:5 to allow municipal officers to place a charter amendment on the ballot that changes the form of government of the municipality. This includes adopting a town council, a city form, or transitioning between council-manager and mayor-council structures. The amendment requires a two-thirds vote of the municipal officers to be placed on the ballot and must be adopted by a majority vote. Each amendment must be limited to a single subject, though multiple sections of the charter may be amended if germane to that subject.
