This bill amends the existing law regarding the posting of warrants for special town meetings. It requires that, in addition to publishing the warrant in a newspaper of general circulation, the warrant must also be posted on the town's website if one is maintained. The specific legal language added includes provisions that the warrant must be published once in a newspaper if one exists, and emphasizes that posting on the website is supplementary to the newspaper publication, not a replacement.
The bill modifies RSA 39:4 by inserting new requirements for the posting of special meeting warrants, ensuring greater accessibility for residents. The effective date of the act is set for 60 days after its passage, allowing towns time to implement the new posting requirements.
