The New Hampshire refugee program shall:\n\nI. Meet at least quarterly with representatives of local governing bodies to plan and coordinate the appropriate placement of refugees in advance of the refugees\u2019 arrival;\n\nII. Ensure that representatives of local resettlement agencies, local community service agencies, and other publicly-funded or tax-exempt agencies that serve refugees in New Hampshire shall meet at least quarterly with representatives of local governing bodies to plan and coordinate the appropriate placement of refugees in the host community in advance of the refugees\u2019 arrival;\n\nIII. Execute a letter of agreement with each agency providing refugee resettlement services in this state. The letter of agreement shall require the parties to mutually consult and prepare a plan for the initial placement of refugees in a host community and set forth the continuing process of consultation between the parties. The provisions of the letter of agreement shall be consistent with federal law regulating the resettlement of refugees; and\n\nIV. At least quarterly transmit copies of the letters of agreement and any initial refugee placement plans prepared thereunder to the chairpersons of the house and senate committees addressing state and local government issues, and to the chairperson of the budget committee of local governing body regulating the host community.\n\n161:14 Moratorium.\n\nI. The New Hampshire refugee program shall accept an application from a local governing body for a moratorium on new refugee resettlement activities in a host community where the local governing body has determined that the community lacks sufficient absorptive capacity.\n\nII. A host community lacks sufficient absorptive capacity where the local government, after consultation with the state refugee coordinator, holds a public hearing and issues findings based on the factors demonstrating that further resettlement of refugees in the host community would result in an adverse impact to existing residents.\n\nIII. Upon notice of a determination made pursuant to paragraph II, the New Hampshire refugee program shall thereafter suspend additional resettlement of refugees in that community, until the state refugee coordinator and the local governing body have jointly determined that sufficient absorptive capacity for refugee resettlement exists to implement the initial refugee placement plan prepared for the host community.\n\nIV.

The Department states with respect to the BPT, New Hampshire has only adopted the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) that was in effect for December 31, 2000. As such, taxpayers must make adjustments to their New Hampshire taxable business profits based upon New Hampshire\u2019s non-recognition of certain expenses allowed by the most current IRC. It is assumed that this bill would allow some of the section 179 expenses to be recognized on the New Hampshire BPT return which are made on the New Hampshire form Schedule R. The Department states it does not capture information entered on the Schedule R on their computer system. Thus, the Department is unable to estimate the negative impact that this legislation would have on BPT revenues. The Department states there were 22,588 filers of corporate BPT returns in tax year 2009. Those 22,588 filers paid $57,069,706 in BPT. 12,927 of the filers checked a box indicating they filed a Schedule R with their return, and 3,536 of these filers paid $42,023,868 in BPT in Tax Year 2009. The Department does not have the same information on proprietorships, partnerships, and water\u2019s edge entities. Although these entities are required to file a Schedule R if applicable, the Bonus Depreciation Box which they must check on their BPT return is not captured on the Department\u2019s current computer system. The law would be effective upon passage and apply to taxable periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011, therefore there may be an impact in FY 2011 due to the possible reduction of estimated tax payments. The Department states this bill would also increase administrative costs to the Department to change the BPT form Schedule R and additional computer programming expenses. The exact fiscal impact cannot be determined at this time.", "in_text": [], "chars": 8478}, "nver": 0, "namd": 0, "rsa": {"RSA 77-A": "/laws/77-a", "RSA 77-A:1": "/laws/77-a#s1", "RSA 161": "/laws/161"}, "amends": {"RSA 77-A": "/laws/77-a", "RSA 161": "/laws/161"}, "related": [{"g": 2, "o": "2011-2012/HB1405", "n": "HB 1405", "t": "relative to refugee resettlement.", "y": 2012, "c": "Interim Study", "s": "This term's {b} has much the same text."}]}
