Bill > HB93

This bill enables school districts in New Hampshire (excluding cooperative school districts) to choose to appoint their school district treasurer through a vote at the annual school district meeting, rather than electing the treasurer as has traditionally been done. Under the proposed legislation, if a district votes to allow appointment, the school board would be responsible for selecting the treasurer in writing, including specifying the treasurer's compensation. The bill also provides a mechanism for districts to rescind this appointment method and return to electing a treasurer, which would require a separate vote at the annual meeting. Additionally, the bill amends existing state law (RSA 671:6) to reflect this new option for treasurer selection. The change gives local school districts more flexibility in how they choose their financial officers, potentially allowing them to select a treasurer based on qualifications and expertise rather than through a general election. The new provision will take effect 60 days after the bill's passage.
