This bill amends the membership structure of municipal budget committees by changing the roles of appointed members from the governing body, school board, and village district. Specifically, it stipulates that these members will now serve in an ex-officio, non-voting capacity. The bill modifies RSA 32:15, I(b) to include language that clarifies that these appointed members will serve for a term of one year and may be represented by an alternate member designated by their respective boards, who will also serve in the same ex-officio, non-voting capacity.

Additionally, the bill removes the previous authority granted to these members, emphasizing their non-voting status. The changes aim to streamline the budget committee's operations while ensuring that the appointed members can still participate in discussions without having voting power. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
