Bill > HB1369

This bill modifies New Hampshire state law (specifically RSA 39:4) regarding how town officials must notify residents about special town meetings. Currently, when selectmen call a special town meeting, they are required to publish the meeting warrant in a newspaper of general circulation within one week of posting the warrant. The bill adds an alternative method, allowing the warrant to be posted on the town's official website instead of being published in a newspaper. This change provides towns with more flexibility in how they communicate meeting information, potentially reducing publication costs and leveraging digital communication channels. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, giving towns time to prepare for and implement the new notification method.
