[The Town Attorney has stated the following with regard to the effect of the Board of Selectmen's enactments on Town Meeting enactments:
"Under New Hampshire law, stated at RSA 31:126, municipal legislation is entitled to a conclusive presumption of compliance with statutory enactment procedure if five years have passed since its enactment. New Hampshire law provides that any claim that municipal legislation is invalid for failure to follow a prescribed statutory enactment procedure may be asserted only within five years of the enactment of the legislation and not afterward. RSA 31:128 provides that a certified copy of the municipal legislation or a certified code, codification or compilation which includes the legislation shall constitute prima facie evidence that legislation was enacted on or prior to the date of certification.
"Where the Town Meeting has previously established a fee and the Board of Selectmen, acting under authority granted it by state law, has modified that fee, both the original enactment by the Town Meeting and the subsequent modification by the Board of Selectmen are valid. Similarly, where the Board of Selectmen has heretofore acted and the Town Meeting has subsequently ratified the actions of the Board, both the initial enactment by the Board of Selectmen and the subsequent ratification by the Town Meeting are valid and create enforceable obligations under the law."]
