This bill establishes a conservation district climate resilience grant program, directing the state conservation committee to implement and administer it for county conservation districts that meet annual financial reporting requirements. To support this initiative, the bill appropriates $100,000 from the general fund for the biennium ending June 30, 2027, which will be distributed to the state's 10 county conservation districts. The governor is authorized to draw funds from the treasury for this purpose.

Additionally, the bill amends RSA 432:11 by inserting a new paragraph that outlines the duties of the state conservation committee regarding the implementation of the grant program. There are no deletions from current law noted in the bill. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage. The fiscal impact indicates no revenue changes, but it does outline expenditures of $100,000 in FY 2027 for the program.
