This bill authorizes the town of Derry to absorb the Derry cooperative school district through various methods. Specifically, it allows for the absorption to be placed on the state general election ballot if 5 percent of the voters petition for it, or alternatively, voters can submit a petition to include the absorption as an article on the town warrant. Additionally, the town council has the option to place the measure directly on the town ballot.

The bill includes new legal language that outlines these methods for absorption, specifically referencing RSA 663, RSA 39:3, and RSA 662-A:3. There are no deletions from current law noted in the text provided. The act is set to take effect immediately upon its passage.
