STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

 

In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Twenty Four

 

AN ACT relative to the penalty for failure to file school expenditure reports.

 

Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:

 

1  School District Taxes; Failure to File Report.  Amend RSA 198:4-f, II-III to read as follows:

II. For just cause, the commissioner of the department of education may grant a school district, city, or chartered public school [, or public academy] up to a 30-day extension to such reporting deadline. The commissioner may further extend the deadline when unusual or unforeseen circumstances prevent a school district, city, or chartered public school [, or public academy] from submitting the required reports under paragraph I before the expiration of such extension.

III. The commissioner shall notify the governing body of the school district, city, or chartered public school[, or public academy] that all state aid to education shall be withheld until complete and accurate information is submitted. In the case of a chartered public school which fails to comply with the reporting requirements by the established deadlines for 2 consecutive years, the commissioner may request the state board of education to revoke the enabling charter.

2  Effective Date.  This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.
