This bill aims to limit conflicts of interest and prevent excessive concentration of power among municipal board and committee members. It repeals and reenacts RSA 669:7, introducing new restrictions on the simultaneous holding of multiple municipal offices. Key provisions include prohibiting individuals from holding two or more specified offices, such as selectman, treasurer, or town clerk, and preventing full-time municipal employees from serving on certain boards or committees within the same municipality. Additionally, it establishes that no person can file for candidacy for incompatible elected offices at the same time.

The bill also clarifies that the new provisions will not hinder the transfer of information between offices or the provision of clerical assistance. It allows members of the governing body to serve as ex officio on committees they supervise and treats alternates as full members for compliance purposes. Furthermore, it provides a grace period for current members holding conflicting positions, allowing them to remain in their roles until the next elections. The act will take effect upon passage.
