This bill amends RSA 654:37 to require the executor of an estate, or personal representative, to provide an official notice of the death of any person aged 18 years or older to the town or city clerk within 30 days of their appointment. This amendment ensures that the supervisors of the checklist are notified of the death of any voters, allowing them to remove the deceased person's name from the voter checklist. The notice provided by the executor is to be used by the town or city clerk to inform the supervisors at their next regular meeting. If there is no official verification of death, the city or town clerk must follow the procedures outlined in RSA 654:37-a.

The bill also specifies that any supervisor who neglects or refuses to erase the name of a deceased voter from the checklist after receiving such notice from the town or city clerk shall be guilty of a violation. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage, with an approved date of July 03, 2024, and an effective date of September 01, 2024. The legal language inserted into the current law includes the responsibility of the executor or personal representative to provide the official notice of death, and there are no deletions indicated in the provided text.
