August 30, 2021. 

Electronic Poll Books.  Chapter 101 (SB 46) authorizes municipalities to use electronic poll book devices for voter registration and check-in for elections, subject to certain requirements. This makes permanent what had been a trial program that otherwise would have expired on January 1, 2023.  Statute amended:  RSA 652:27.  E.D. August 30, 2021. 

Capital Reserve Funds for Lease/Purchase Agreements.  Chapter 105 (SB 87) allows a capital reserve fund to be used to make payments under a lease/purchase agreement, regardless of whether the agreement contains an “escape” or “non-appropriation” clause.  Statute amended:  RSA 35:15, III.  E.D. August 30, 2021.  See also sections III, VII. 

Voter Who Registers Without Photo ID Must Be Photographed.  Chapter 111 (HB 523) requires that if a person registers to vote by using a qualified voter affidavit or a sworn statement on the election day registration form in lieu of providing an approved voter identification, the supervisors of the checklist, city or town clerk, or election day official must take a photograph of the person.

Modified Residence Criteria for Polling Place Workers.  Chapter 125 (HB 476) allows assistant moderators in towns with more than one polling place to be residents of the town, rather than the “voting district covered by the additional polling place.” It also requires that assistant moderators and assistant clerks in cities live in the ward which they serve.  Statutes amended:  RSA 658:14; 658:18.  E.D. September 12,.  See also section XI.

Daily reports are required only on days the clerk’s office is open and receives filings.  Statute amended:  RSA 658:18.  E.D. September 21, 2021. 

New Voter Checklist Verification Procedures.  Chapter 137 (HB 285) makes several changes to the voter checklist statutes to ensure that checklists are updated due to deaths and address changes.  It also requires a municipality that receives an inventory of property transfer under RSA 74:18 to forward the buyer’s and seller’s names and addresses to the supervisors of the checklist.  Statutes amended:  RSA 5-C:4; 74:18; 261:55; 654:37, :45.  E.D. September 21, 2021. 

Procedure for Adding Names to Voter Checklist.  Chapter 175 (SB 31) provides that when an applicant to register to vote lists a previous place of registration on the voter registration form, the supervisors of the checklist will enter that information into the statewide centralized voter registration database. It repeals the requirement to forward a copy of the registration form to the supervisors of the checklist in the municipality of the applicant’s last voting address if that address was in another New England state. The secretary of state will provide information on individuals who report being previously registered in another state to the chief elections officer of that state. When supervisors of the checklist receive notice through the centralized voter registration database that a voter has registered in another state, they will remove that voter from the checklist unless they have evidence that the notice is inaccurate. The new law also modifies the absentee ballot affidavit.  Statutes amended:  RSA 654:13; 657:7.  E.D. August 30, 2021, for absentee ballot affidavit change; September 28, 2021, for voter checklist procedure. 

Municipality Must Provide Electronic List of Absentee Ballot Requests.  Chapter 187 (HB 326) modifies the requirement that a town or city clerk, upon request by a candidate whose name appears on an election ballot, provide a list of absentee voter applicants.

Clarification of “Other Compensation” Requirement for Partial Day’s Work.  Chapter 23 (HB 303) clarifies that the law requiring an employee to be paid for at least two hours of work on any day that he or she reports to work at the employer’s request does not apply to municipal or county employees. The existing statute exempts municipal and county employees as well as certain ski resort employees from the requirement, but requires that the ski resort employees receive “other compensation that is at least equal to their rate of pay.” The “other compensation” requirement had sometimes been misinterpreted as applying to municipal and county employees as well. The amended law clarifies that it does not.  Statute amended:  RSA 275:43-a.  E.D. July 5, 2021.   

Municipalities May Invest Funds in Certain Out-of-State Banks.  Chapter 65 (HB 545) allows a municipality (or other political subdivision) to invest its funds in any federally insured bank, provided that in the case of a bank chartered under the laws of another state, the other state permits a New Hampshire-chartered bank to accept deposit of public funds from that state and the out-of-state satisfies certain other requirements.  Statutes amended (among others):  RSA 6:8; 31:25, :25-a, :26, :27, :36; 34:5; 35:9; 41:29; 48:16.  E.D. August 3, 2021. 

Use of Electronic Records and Signatures.  Chapter 67 (HB 302) amends RSA 294-E to state that the secretary of state and the Department of Information Technology may create standards by which a governmental agency may use electronic records, rather than stating that they shall determine whether a government agency may do the same. It also provides that nothing in the statute shall be construed to prevent municipalities from using electronic records or signatures.  Statute amended:  RSA 294-E:17, :18.  E.D. August 9, 2021. 

Extension of Workers’ Compensation Presumption for Heart and Lung Disease.  Chapter 83 (HB 385) extends to age 70 (from age 65) the workers’ compensation benefits from the prima facie presumption that heart or lung disease in a firefighter is occupationally related.  Statute amended:  RSA 281-A:17, I(c).  E.D. August 17, 2021. 

ARPA Funds Treated as Unanticipated Revenue.  Chapter 91 (HB 2) provides that funds received by municipalities from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 may be considered unanticipated revenue under RSA 31:95-b and may be accepted and expended as provided in that section regardless of whether a municipality has adopted the section.  Statute amended:  None.  E.D. July 1, 2021.

June 25. 2021. 

Broadband Matching Grants.  Chapter 91 (HB 2) also establishes a broadband matching grant initiative within the Department of Business and Economic Affairs, the purpose of which is to provide matching grants to broadband providers, political subdivisions, and communications districts to improve broadband availability. Projects are eligible for grants up to 50 percent of total eligible costs (as defined in the new law). The department will adopt rules relative to grant applications and procedures. Projects under construction at the time of application are not eligible, but projects in the planning states are. Funding for the grants will come from state appropriations, grants and donations, and federal funds for internet expansion that are not committed to other programs.  Statute enacted:  RSA 12-O:61 through :63.  E.D. July 1, 2021. (Note:  Chapter 123 (SB 85) is substantially the same; however, section 455 of chapter 91 nullified that law, and these provisions in chapter 91 took its place.) 

Capital Reserve Funds for Lease/Purchase Agreements.  Chapter 105 (SB 87) allows a capital reserve fund to be used to make payments under a lease/purchase agreement, regardless of whether the agreement contains an “escape” or “non-appropriation” clause.  Statute amended:  RSA 35:15, III.  E.D. August 30, 2021.

The municipality may also collect all protest, bank, and legal fees to cover the cost of collecting the debt. Previous law allowed for collection of these fees only when the remittance was made by check.  Statute amended:  RSA 80:56.  E.D. August 30, 2021. 

Expenditure of Funds from Water Wheeling.  Chapter 105 (SB 87) also allows a town that is governed by RSA 49-D:3, I (town council form of government) to use funds from the collection of water wheeling charges derived from intermunicipal agreements to expend a portion of those funds for maintenance and improvement of sewer systems, capital reserve funds for the water or sewer system, expansion or replacement of natural gas lines, and certain other economic development purposes. Statute amended:  RSA 38:29.  E.D. August 30, 2021. 

Village Districts Subject to Right-to-Know Law.  Chapter 118 (SB 84) amends the village district statute to state that any “legislative body, governing body, board, commission, or committee” of a village district is a “public body” for purposes of the Right-to-Know Law. This is not a substantive change in the law, just a more specific statement of the law under RSA 91-A:1-a, VI(d), which states that any such body of a “political subdivision”—which includes a village district—is a public body.  Statute enacted:  RSA 52:11-b.  E.D. September 7, 2021. 

Prohibition on Mandatory Covid-19 Vaccinations.  Chapter 131 (HB 220) prohibits mandating a Covid-19 vaccination to secure, receive, or access public facilities, public benefits, or any public service from the State or its subdivisions. However, the prohibition does not apply to treatment ordered by the Department of Health and Human Services, involuntary emergency admissions, or treatment authorized by guardians, county nursing homes, the state hospital, any medical provider operated by the state or its subdivisions, or treatment by the Department of Corrections if a direct threat exists. The new law also establishes a legislative committee to study the policy of medical intervention, including immunizations.  Statute enacted:  RSA 141-C:1-a.  E.D. July 23, 2021. 

Municipal Budget Requirements.  Chapter 134 (HB 243) establishes additional requirements for town budgets. It defines “sub-account” as “an optional level of accounting, one or more levels below the account level,” which, if used, must support the numbering classification system established in the uniform chart of accounts as established by the Department of Revenue Administration. Any detail included in sub-accounts must be made available for public inspection at the town’s budget hearing and must be included in the information provided to the budget committee, if there is one. The new law also requires the governing body to provide information to the budget committee in a format acceptable to the budget committee, but states that this requirement may be satisfied “by providing the assistance of a knowledgeable staff person who will attend the budget committee meetings with access to and the ability to provide the required information.”  Statute amended:  RSA 32:3, :5, :17, :22.  E.D. September 21, 2021. 

Right-to-Know Law: Attorney-Client Communications; List of Sealed Minutes; Virtual Meetings.  Chapter 163 (HB 108) clarifies that records protected under the attorney-client privilege or the attorney work product doctrine are exempt from disclosure under the Right-to-Know Law. It also requires a public body to create and maintain a list of nonpublic session minutes that have been determined not to be subject to full public disclosure. The list must include the date and time of the nonpublic session, the specific exemption under RSA 91-A:3, II, relied upon for the nonpublic session, the date of the decision to withhold the minutes from public disclosure, and the date of any subsequent decision to make the minutes available. 

In addition, the new law requires that minutes related to a nonpublic session held under RSA 91-A:3, II(d) (consideration of acquisition, sale, or lease of property) be made available as soon as possible after the transaction has closed or the public body has decided not to proceed with the transaction. 

Finally, the law establishes a legislative committee “to review authorizing governing bodies of municipalities to hold virtual meetings and to study remote access to meetings under RSA 91-A.” The committee is to issue a report with any recommendations for legislation by November 1, 2021.

Liquor Tastings Permitted at Farmers’ Markets.  Chapter 173 (SB 18) includes liquor manufacturers in the list of alcohol makers who may offer samples for tastings at farmers’ markets, and allows in-state liquor manufacturers who produce fewer than 10,000 bottles per year to sell their product at farmers’ markets.  Statutes amended:  RSA 178:6, IV, 179:44, II-a.  E.D. September 28, 2021.

It also adds a requirement that any proposed acquisition, sale, or demolition be submitted to the heritage commission and historic district commission, if any, for review and recommendation (if, in the case of a historic district commission, the property lies within a defined historic district). The change is effective in all towns in which the provisions of RSA 41:14-a have previously been adopted and remain in effect, without further action by the town.  Statute amended:  RSA 41:14-a.  E.D. October 9, 2021. 

Communications Districts and Broadband Bonds.  Chapter 198 (SB 88) eliminates the requirement that two or more municipalities create a communications district planning committee upon a vote of their legislative bodies; such a committee may still be formed at the discretion of the governing bodies. It also makes several modifications to the process for requests for information and requests for proposals in connection with the issuance of a bond to finance broadband infrastructure.  Statutes amended:  RSA 33:3-g; 53-G:2.  E.D.
