Bill > HB491

This bill establishes a committee composed of five members of the House of Representatives and four members of the Senate, appointed by their respective leadership, to study how public education is funded in New Hampshire and to explore ways to lessen the state's dependence on local real estate property taxes, which are taxes on the value of land and buildings. The committee's duties include recommending changes to revenue sources and assessing the current state funding for public education, with a particular focus on the impact of relying too heavily on local property taxes. The committee will elect a chairperson, needs a majority of its members to conduct business, and must report its findings and any legislative proposals to various state officials and the state library by November 1, 2025. Legislative members will be reimbursed for mileage when attending committee duties.
