This bill establishes and appropriates funds for the Hampton Beach Master Plan Fund, which is managed by the Hampton Beach area commission. It amends RSA 216-J:5 to clarify that the fund will receive not only gifts, grants, and donations but also any other appropriated funds. The bill specifies that the fund will cover implementation expenses, the expenses of the commission and its commissioners, as well as the operations and initiatives of the commission. Additionally, it ensures that any money in the fund will not lapse into the state's general fund.

The bill appropriates a total of $10,000 to the Hampton Beach Master Plan Fund, with $5,000 allocated for the fiscal year 2026 and another $5,000 for fiscal year 2027. The governor is authorized to draw these amounts from the treasury as needed. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the funding and operational capacity of the Hampton Beach area commission through these appropriations.
