The bill modifies the method for rescinding local tax caps by allowing simpler majority votes for caps adopted before mid-2025 while retaining the existing three-fifths requirement for those adopted afterwards.

  • RSA 32:5-c, VI

    Any local political subdivision which has adopted RSA 32:5-b after July 1, 2025 may consider rescinding its action in the manner described in paragraphs I through V. → Any local political subdivision which has adopted RSA 32:5-b after July 1, 2025 may consider rescinding its action in the manner described in paragraphs I through V.

    This section remains unchanged for local political subdivisions that adopted the tax cap after mid-2025, still requiring a three-fifths majority for rescission.

  • RSA 32:5-c

    Any local political subdivision which has adopted RSA 32:5-b before July 1, 2025 may consider rescinding its action in the manner described in paragraphs I through V.

    This allows towns that adopted a tax cap before mid-2025 to rescind it with a simple majority vote.

  • RSA 32:5-c

    A 3/5 majority of those voting on the question shall be required to rescind the provisions of this section, except in the case of repeal by charter enactment under RSA 49-D. → A majority of those voting on the question shall be required to rescind the provisions of this section, except in the case of repeal by charter enactment under RSA 49-D.

    This changes the voting threshold for rescinding tax caps adopted before mid-2025 from a three-fifths majority to a simple majority.
