This bill appropriates $600,000 in general funds for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, to the Department of Transportation. The funds are designated as matching funds for the Town of Warner to support a section of the rail trail project, specifically to link Contoocook Village with downtown Warner through a Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) grant. The governor is authorized to draw the necessary funds from the treasury, ensuring that the town receives the financial support needed for this infrastructure project.

The bill also establishes an effective date of July 1, 2025, for the appropriation to take effect. There are no changes to existing law, as the bill introduces new legal language to facilitate this funding without any deletions from current statutes. The fiscal impact indicates that while there will be no revenue generated from this bill, it will result in an expenditure of $600,000 in FY 2026, directly benefiting the Town of Warner.
