When title to the replaced land was vested in more than one municipality, title to the replacement land shall be vested in units to each of such municipalities in the same proportion as that in which the replaced land was held.

Status: in_force

The bank commissioner may adopt rules under RSA 541-A, relative to simplifying the calculation of the unearned portion of the interest, including allowance of the use of tables or other methods and based on the assumption that all payments were made as originally scheduled. III. With respect to a precomputed consumer credit transaction payable according to its original terms in 48 monthly installments or less, the rebate of the unearned portion of the interest may be computed according to the sum of the balances method, also known as the "Rule of 78," or by any other method to which the consumer is entitled by contract. If a rebate of interest may be computed according to the sum of the balances method, the creditor shall, prior to the closing of the transaction, furnish the consumer with a written explanation of such method of rebating in a form approved for that use by the bank commissioner.
