allowing municipalities, cities, and towns a grace period to adopt a simple-majority tax cap override procedure in perpetuity.

This bill allows New Hampshire municipalities, cities, and towns to permanently adopt a simple-majority voting process for overriding local tax caps, with a deadline of July 1, 2028, to make this change. It gives communities a one-time window to switch from their current tax override procedures to a system requiring only a simple majority vote instead of higher thresholds. Towns that previously used a different voting standard can choose to revert to it before the deadline. Once adopted, the simple-majority process would apply permanently to future tax override votes.
