A public hearing must be held by the local governing body on the adoption of SB2 at least 15 days, but not more than 30 days, before the question is to be voted on. Under RSA 40:14, III, the question on the adoption of SB2 must be voted on at the business session and cannot be placed on the official ballot. If the business session of the meeting is held on the same date as the official ballot voting day, May 13, then this is the last day for that hearing. If the governing body has chosen another day for the business session, this public hearing must be held at least 15 days before the date chosen for the business session.
