This bill amends RSA 31 Powers and Duties of Towns to prohibit taxpayer funds from being used to pay membership fees to any professional association or organization. The bill would be effective upon passage and applicable upon the expiration of current memberships and employment contracts valid on the effective date of the bill. The Office of Legislative Budget Assistant has determined that to the extent local expenditures may be affected by this legislation, such expenditures may decrease by an unknown amount, and local budgets and expenses may be adjusted accordingly, therefore the local fiscal impact is indeterminable.
