This bill allows school districts that are not classified as cooperative school districts to appoint a school district treasurer instead of electing one. The new section, RSA 197:23-b, stipulates that the appointment can be authorized through an article in the warrant for the annual school district meeting, and the school board will be responsible for making the appointment in writing, including details about compensation. Additionally, the bill provides a mechanism for school districts to rescind the appointment and revert to an elected treasurer if desired.

The bill also amends RSA 671:6 to include the new provision for appointed treasurers, indicating that school districts must elect a clerk, moderator, and treasurer unless they opt for the appointment process outlined in the new section. The effective date of the act is set for 60 days after its passage.
