This bill amends the existing law regarding the Department of Military Affairs and Veterans Services by designating the funds account for donations and bequests received by the department as non-lapsing and continually appropriated. Specifically, it modifies RSA 110-B:1, III to include new language stating that "These funds shall be nonlapsing and continually appropriated to the department." This change ensures that any donations made to support military service members, veterans, and their families will not expire at the end of a fiscal year, allowing the department to utilize these funds as needed without the risk of losing them.

The bill is a request from the Department of Military Affairs and Veterans Services and is set to take effect on July 1, 2026. The insertion of the new legal language clarifies the status of the funds, while no deletions from the current law are noted in the text provided. This legislative change aims to enhance the financial stability and operational capacity of the department in serving the needs of military personnel and veterans.
