This bill establishes a prohibition against individuals serving simultaneously on both the planning board and the zoning board of adjustment within a municipality. The proposed legal language amends existing statutes, specifically RSA 673:3 and RSA 673:7, to include new provisions that explicitly state that no member of the zoning board of adjustment may also be a member of the planning board. Additionally, it clarifies that while planning board members may serve on other municipal boards or commissions, they cannot serve on the zoning board of adjustment.

The amendments include the insertion of phrases such as "No member of the board may also be a member of a planning board" and "no member serving on the planning board shall also be a member of a zoning board of adjustment." Furthermore, the bill specifies that in counties with unincorporated towns, the county commissioners will determine which planning board members may serve on other boards, with the same restriction against serving on a zoning board of adjustment. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
