This bill amends the Municipal Budget Law to allow counties to change the timing of their biennial budgets. Specifically, it introduces a new section, RSA 32:27, which outlines the procedure for counties to move their biennial budget to coincide with the off year of the state election. The change requires an affirmative vote from a majority of county voters, initiated by a majority vote from the county commissioners. The commissioners must put the question on the ballot no later than September 1 before the state elections, and they are required to provide public notice of the vote at least 15 days but not more than 60 days in advance through various channels, including local newspapers and the county's website.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the question posed to voters will read: "Shall NAME OF COUNTY move to a biennial budget cycle starting in the year YEAR NUMBER?" This new provision aims to streamline the budgeting process for counties and align it with state election cycles. The act will take effect 60 days after its passage.
