This bill amends current law to authorize county governments to establish a public safety revolving fund, which can be used for the provision of public safety services by county employees outside their ordinary duties. The fund can support services related to special events, highway construction, and other public safety purposes deemed appropriate by the county sheriff. The new section, RSA 23:23, outlines the procedures for establishing the fund, including the requirement for counties to deposit revenues from fees and charges related to the fund's activities to maintain its appropriated amount. Any excess funds must be directed to the general fund, and the county treasurer will manage the fund's finances.
Additionally, the bill allows the county convention to impose limitations on expenditures from the revolving fund, ensuring that no funds are spent on items or services that have been specifically rejected by the convention in the same year. The provisions of this section do not prevent the establishment of other public safety revolving funds for different purposes authorized by law. The act will take effect 60 days after its passage.
