In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Five
AN ACT relative to special school district meetings to vote on tuition contracts.
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
1 Special Meetings for Tuition Contract Votes. Amend RSA 197:3, I(a) to read as follows:
(a) No school district at any special meeting shall raise or appropriate money nor reduce or rescind any appropriation made at a previous meeting, unless the vote thereon is by ballot, nor unless the ballots cast at such meeting shall be equal in number to at least 1/2 of the number of voters of such district entitled to vote at the regular meeting next preceding such special meeting; and, if a checklist was used at the last preceding regular meeting, the same shall be used to ascertain the number of legal voters in said district; and such checklist, corrected according to law, may be used at such special meeting upon request of 10 legal voters of the district. In case an emergency arises requiring an immediate expenditure of money, the school board may petition the superior court for permission to hold a special district meeting, which, if granted, shall give said district meeting the same authority as an annual district meeting. This subparagraph shall not apply to special meetings called for the sole purpose of voting on tuition contracts.
2 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.
