RSA 79-C Discretionary Easements

What to do with it
As published

79-C:7 Assessment of Land Subject to Discretionary Easement.

The method of assessment of discretionary easement land, excluding any buildings, their curtilage, appurtenances, or other improvements, shall be included as a term of the agreement in any discretionary easement acquired by a municipality, and shall fall within a range of values determined as follows: I. One end of the range shall consist of the value such land would have been assigned under the current use values established pursuant to RSA 79-A, if the land had met the criteria for open space land under that chapter. II. The other end of the range shall be determined by multiplying 75 percent of the land's fair market value by the current equalization rate. III. The local governing body shall have the discretion to set the value of the discretionary easement at a level within this range which it believes reflects the public benefit conferred by the property, under the criteria set forth in RSA 79-C:3 and RSA 79-C:5, I.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
