Summary

The bill changes state statutes so towns and cities no longer have to create an advisory board for each development district; they may choose to do so. It applies to all New Hampshire municipalities and impacts property owners, occupants, and developers who might serve on such boards. The change gives local governments flexibility while still allowing representation of business and community interests if they wish.
