Default Senate Bill 2 Petition

There is a Petition circulating to have the Town of Moultonborough schedule a Special Town Meeting to vote on whether to adopt NH RSA 40:13. From the NH Department of Revenue Administration on RSA 40:13:

" RSA 40:13, Senate Bill 2, also known as SB2, (Official Ballot Referenda) is a form of town meeting that has two sessions. The first session (deliberative session) is for explanation, discussion, debate and amendments to the proposed operating budget and warrant articles. The second session (voting session) allows voters to cast an official ballot to pass/fail proposed articles."

See Laconia Daily Sun: https://www.laconiadailysun.com/opin...d4ae70ae2.html

While the deliberative session of Town Meeting would be mostly unchanged, the vote on the Warrant Articles would take place in the same fashion as Town Elections, with the ability to vote by absentee ballot.

This seems to me to be appropriate for Moultonborough to adopt so that the 2023 Town Meeting will be held under the provisions of SB 2.
