This bill aims to repeal the authority for non-charter towns, village districts, and counties with unincorporated places to adopt zoning ordinances through alternative procedures. Specifically, it removes the provisions outlined in RSA 674:18-a, which allowed these entities to utilize alternative methods for the approval of amendments to zoning ordinances or bylaws and the local zoning map. The bill also amends RSA 672:8 to redefine the term "local legislative body" by eliminating the previous definitions that included the local governing body for non-charter towns, village districts, and counties in relation to zoning amendments.

The changes made by this bill include the deletion of the previous definitions of "local legislative body" and the repeal of the alternative procedure for adopting zoning ordinances. The new legal language clarifies the basic forms of government utilized by municipalities, while the specific provisions for non-charter towns and related entities are removed. The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
