HB1088

Transferring funding for the water well board from the general fund to a special nonlapsing fund.

Complete·7/16/26

HB1088 shifts funding for the New Hampshire Water Well Board from the general fund to a dedicated, nonlapsing fund.

HB1088 creates the New Hampshire Water Well Board Fund as a special, nonlapsing fund in the state treasury. This fund will receive all fees, fines, and civil penalties related to water wells. The fund will be continually appropriated and used exclusively for the Water Well Board's duties. The bill amends RSA 482-B to establish this fund and ensure all related moneys are deposited into it, rather than the general fund. This change takes effect on January 1, 2027.
