This bill mandates that Volunteer NH assess the financial requirements to establish a new full-time position aimed at supporting post-service college and career pathways for AmeriCorps alumni and returned Peace Corps volunteers. The bill appropriates the necessary funds for this position for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, allowing the governor to draw from the treasury for this purpose. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2025.

In terms of fiscal impact, the estimated expenditures for the new position are projected to be $74,810 in FY 2026, with subsequent increases to $77,024 in FY 2027 and $79,306 in FY 2028. The funding will be sourced from the General Fund, and while the bill provides appropriations for FY 2026, it does not allocate funds beyond that fiscal year. The calculations for the position's costs include salary, fringe benefits, pooled organizational costs, and travel expenses, with a consistent fringe rate applied across the years.
