This bill amends RSA 147:1, I to change when regulations relating to public health made by town health officers take effect. Currently, these regulations take effect when approved by the selectmen, recorded by the town clerk, and published in a newspaper or posted in public places. The bill proposes that these regulations will now take effect when approved by a majority of the legislative body at an annual or special meeting.

The bill does not include any deletions, but it inserts new language specifying that the regulations must be approved by a majority of the legislative body at a meeting. The bill also removes the requirement for the regulations to be recorded by the town clerk and published in a newspaper or posted in public places. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage.
