This bill mandates that municipalities must hold a public hearing and conduct a roll call vote when they seek to override a tax or spending cap. Specifically, it introduces a new section to RSA 32, which outlines the procedures for such overrides. The bill stipulates that before any vote on an override can occur, the governing body must provide at least 30 days' notice of the public hearing, allow for a public comment period of at least 60 minutes, and record the final vote as a roll call, with each member's name and vote documented. Additionally, the results of the roll call vote must be published with the next property tax bill issued by the municipality.

The bill applies only to cities and towns with elected councils authorized to adopt municipal budgets, explicitly excluding towns operating under traditional town meeting forms or official ballot referendums, as well as village districts and other special districts. It does not alter the authority of voters to approve or reject overrides at town meetings or impose procedural requirements on deliberative sessions. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage and is projected to have a fiscal impact of less than $10,000 for each fiscal year from 2026 to 2029.
