METHODOLOGY:

This bill repeals the FRM victims' contribution recovery fund.

 

The Department of Justice indicates the Director of Charitable Trusts at DOJ oversees the work of the fund administrator.  The Department indicates passage of this bill would not result in any fiscal impact to the Department.  

 

Chapter 91:85, Laws of 2021 made appropriations of $5,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022, and the sum of $5,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, to the FRM victims' contribution recovery fund.  This bill would repeal RSA 359-P effective July 1, 2023 and any remaining funds would lapse to the general fund.
