relative to the reductions from the default budget for official ballot town meetings.

HB 475 would have modified the standard budget reductions applied to official ballot town meetings in New Hampshire towns. The bill aimed to adjust how much funding is automatically reduced for these local meetings, directly affecting towns that rely on this format for budget decisions. It passed the legislature but was vetoed by Governor Ayotte on July 15, 2025, preventing it from becoming law. The measure focused on changing the default budget calculation method, not on new funding or procedural changes.
