relative to state funds.
HB 163 establishes the New Hampshire Armories or Other National Guard Facilities Fund to support state National Guard facilities. It directs specific agency income - identified by the National Guard's chief financial officer - to this fund, which is nonlapsing (funds carry over annually) and used to supplement general funds for managing and operating these facilities, excluding the existing National Guard training center funds. The bill amends state law to clarify that funds in this new account can be released at the adjutant general's discretion for facility operations beyond federal program income. The legislation was enacted on July 22, 2025, effective September 13, 2025.
