METHODOLOGY:

This bill requires towns to ensure residents of public housing have access to composting and waste recycling facilities. The New Hampshire Municipal Association states there would be an indeterminable increase in local expenditures for towns, with residents of public housing that currently do not have access to composting and waste recycling facilties.  They are also unable to determine which options towns would choose in providing these types of facilities since there are various options when choosing access to compositing and waste recycling facilities.   

 

It is assumed the fiscal impact would not occur until FY 2023.
