This bill amends the existing law regarding the Department of Military Affairs and Veterans Services by designating the funds account that receives donations and bequests as nonlapsing 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 the funds received for the welfare of military service members, veterans, and their families will not expire at the end of a fiscal year, allowing for more consistent and reliable funding for the department's initiatives.

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 inclusion of the nonlapsing provision aims to enhance the department's ability to manage and utilize donations effectively, thereby improving support for military personnel and their families.
