This bill proposes a nonlapsing appropriation of $1,000,000 to the solid waste management fund for the 2025-2027 biennium, as established under RSA 149-R:3. The bill stipulates that 50% of this appropriation must be allocated to prioritize projects aimed at reducing and diverting food waste and other organic wastes until June 30, 2028. The governor is authorized to draw the necessary funds from the treasury, ensuring that the appropriation is not subject to lapsing.

The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2025. The fiscal impact analysis indicates that there will be no revenue generated from this bill, but it will result in expenditures of $1,000,000 in FY 2026, funded through the General Fund. The bill does not delete any existing legal language but introduces new provisions regarding the appropriation and its intended use.
