As published

21-J:20-a Notification Required; Failure to Complete Audit.

I. Upon completion of an audit made pursuant to RSA 21-J:19 or RSA 21-J:20, each city, town, school district, village district, county, or precinct shall provide notification to the department of the completed audit and a copy such audit shall be sent to the department. If a required audit is not completed by the due date of such audit, the commissioner may levy a fine of up to $250 per day for every day of noncompliance, commencing 90 days after the department has provided written notice to the municipality, political subdivision, or county of the intent to levy such fine. II. The municipality, political subdivision, or county may petition the commissioner for waiver of the fine in instances where the failure to complete a statutorily required audit by the due date of such audit was due to reasonable cause. If a waiver is granted, the municipality, political subdivision, or county shall within 90 days of receiving the waiver from the department provide the department an executed contract binding the municipality, political subdivision, or county, to conduct the required audit with an entity licensed and certified to do so, and within a time frame approved by the commissioner. Fines collected by the department pursuant to this section shall be deposited in the general fund. Source. 2022, 127:2, eff. May 27, 2022.

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.
