Bill > SB183

This bill modifies the membership of the Pease Development Authority (PDA) board of directors by increasing the total number of directors from 7 to 9 and adding two new board members. Specifically, the bill adds one member appointed by the board of selectmen of the town of Hampton and another member appointed by the board of selectmen of the town of Rye. Along with these new appointments, the bill also adjusts the quorum requirements and voting thresholds for the board. The number of board members needed to constitute a quorum will increase from 4 to 5, and the number of affirmative votes required for board actions will change from 4 to 5 for general actions and from 5 to 6 for adopting land use controls. These changes aim to provide more local representation on the PDA board by including members from Hampton and Rye, which are communities near the Pease International Tradeport, a former Air Force base that has been redeveloped as a commercial and industrial park. The bill is set to take effect on April 30, 2026.
