enabling a municipal forest committee or conservation commission to offer surplus money to the municipality for deposit in the municipal unreserved fund balance.

HB 124 allows municipal forest committees or conservation commissions to transfer any surplus funds they hold directly to the municipality's general unreserved fund balance. This affects local committees managing forest or conservation funds and the municipalities receiving those funds. The key provision removes barriers to moving leftover money from these specialized committees into the main municipal account, streamlining fund management. The bill became law on July 15, 2025, and takes effect September 13, 2025.
