relative to school building aid for eligible projects.

HB 366 modifies the ranking system for school building aid grants in New Hampshire. It removes two priority rules: projects that didn’t receive funding the previous year (if construction hadn’t started) and projects with "critical needs" as defined by the department. Applications will now be ranked solely based on the established scoring criteria in RSA 198:15-c, II(b), including factors like unsafe conditions, ADA compliance, overcrowding, and fiscal capacity. This change affects all public school districts and chartered public schools applying for state building grants.
