New Hampshire HB1677 requires local budget committees or governing bodies to recommend warrant articles with tax impacts in municipal tax estimates.

New Hampshire HB1677 amends RSA 32:5-b, I to mandate that local budget committees or governing bodies recommend warrant articles with tax impacts in municipal tax estimates. The estimated tax amount must include the operating budget and all warrant articles with tax impacts, recommended by the budget committee or governing body if no committee exists, and certified and posted on the warrant for the annual meeting. The tax estimate cannot exceed the prior year's tax amount by more than the tax cap authorized when the section was adopted. The act will take effect 60 days after its passage.
