This bill establishes the New Hampshire-Greece Trade Council, aimed at enhancing trade and investment relations between New Hampshire and Greece. The council will be formed under a new section, RSA 12-O:23-b, which outlines its purpose to promote bilateral trade, initiate joint policy actions, and facilitate business and academic exchanges. The council will consist of various members, including two senators, two house members, representatives from the Department of Business and Economic Affairs, the Secretary of State, the Business and Industry Association, the Division of Economic Development, the University System of New Hampshire, and two public members appointed by the governor.

Additionally, the bill allows the council to raise and accept funds through various means, which will be deposited into a newly established New Hampshire-Greece Trade Council Fund. This fund will be used to cover the council's administrative costs and support its activities, and it is designated as non-lapsing and continually appropriated. The bill also amends RSA 6:12 to include the new fund under the application of receipts. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
