setting a minimum affirmative vote for new or expanded spending for SB 2 towns.

Summary

The bill adds a rule that any warrant article proposing a town’s operating budget or any other appropriation must receive votes from at least 15% of registered voters, and a majority of those votes must be "Yes." The same requirement applies to school districts that use the official ballot referendum form. It aims to ensure broader voter participation before new or expanded spending is approved.
