2006 New Hampshire Statutes - Section 31:95-e Acceptance of Personal Property Donated to Towns and Village Districts.

    I. Any town or village district at an annual meeting may adopt an article authorizing the board of selectmen or board of commissioners to accept gifts of personal property, other than money, which may be offered to the town or village district for any public purpose, and such authorization shall remain in effect until rescinded by a vote of town or village district meeting.
    II. Prior to the acceptance of any such gift with a value of over $500, the selectmen or commissioners shall hold a public hearing on the proposed acceptance. For gifts with a value of $500 or less, a public hearing on the proposed acceptance shall be at the discretion of the selectmen or commissioners.
    III. No acceptance of any personal property under the authority of this section shall be deemed to bind the town or village district to raise, appropriate or expend any public funds for the operation, maintenance, repair, or replacement of such personal property.
