This bill proposes the transfer of funding for the water well board from the general fund to a newly established special nonlapsing fund, known as the water well board fund. The bill amends existing laws to create this fund, which will be continually appropriated and will receive all fees, fines, and civil penalties collected under the relevant chapter. Specifically, it adds a new subparagraph to RSA 6:12, I(b) to include the water well board fund and introduces a new section, RSA 482-B:4-a, detailing the fund's establishment and its intended use for the water well board's duties.

Additionally, the bill modifies RSA 482-B:14 and RSA 482-B:16, VI to ensure that all fees and collected moneys are directed to the water well board fund instead of the general fund. The language indicating the general fund is deleted, and the new fund is inserted in its place. The bill is set to take effect on January 1, 2027.
