IMPORTANT HOUSE BILL

I am sending this notice to you regarding information and the scheduling of the hearing for HB1125.  (HB1125:  enabling municipalities to adopt an exemption from property taxes for volunteer firefighters and volunteer emergency medical personnel).

It is my hope that this bill will assist volunteer firefighter and EMT companies in attracting and retaining personnel. It is an enabling bill that gives municipalities the ability and choice of defining requirements for tax exemptions for the people who protect their communities.

Please note the date and time if you wish to attend the hearing, testify, or both.

To send testimony ahead of the hearing please email committee members at:

HouseMunicipalandCountyGovt@leg.state.nh.us

If you wish to hand out a copy of your testimony to committee members please make 20 copies.
