HB 1435 New Hampshire House · 2026 Regular Session

relative to changes to the Winnipesaukee river basin control replacement fund.

HB 1435 adjusts the funding mechanism for the Winnipesaukee River Basin Control Replacement Fund. It reduces the required capitalization rate from 5% to 2% of treatment facility equipment value (calculated every 5 years based on current replacement costs) and revises how member contributions are structured and replenished after fund use. This directly affects the organizations that operate and utilize the basin's water treatment facilities, requiring them to pay lower initial contributions while modifying how future costs are shared among members. The changes take effect for valuations after June 30, 2024, with full implementation by 2029.

What changed between versions

Version adopted by both bodies → CHAPTERED FINAL VERSION · 3 edits
MINOR
No substantive policy changes were made between the version adopted by both bodies and the chaptered final version. The bill was assigned Chapter 94, section numbers were renumbered with the chapter prefix (e.g., 1 became 94:1), the fiscal note was removed (standard for enacted laws), and an approval date of May 28, 2026 was added. All legal text remains identical.
TECHNICAL

Section numbers were renumbered from plain numbers (1, 2, 3) to chapter-prefixed numbers (94:1, 94:2, 94:3) to reflect the bill's assignment as Chapter 94 of the 2026 session laws.

The fiscal note section was removed, which is standard practice when a bill transitions from a legislative draft to an enacted chaptered law.

TIMELINE

An approval date of May 28, 2026 and explicit effective dates were added at the end of the document: Section 2 takes effect June 30, 2029; the remainder takes effect May 28, 2026.
