relative to the elimination of certain special funds.
HB 1624 eliminates three state special funds: the radiation long-term care fund, mosquito control fund, and New Hampshire recovery monument special account. It repeals the legal references establishing these funds and transfers the remaining balance from the recovery monument account to the alcohol abuse prevention and treatment fund. The bill has a minor fiscal impact, costing less than $10,000 annually through 2029. This procedural bill directly affects state fund management by redirecting unused balances to a related public health fund.

MINOR
No substantive policy changes were made. The diff reflects only the standard transition from a bill adopted by both bodies to its final chaptered form: section numbers were prefixed with the chapter number (39), the internal fiscal note was removed, and approval/effective dates were added.
TECHNICAL
Section numbers changed from plain integers (1, 2, 3) to chapter-prefixed format (39:1, 39:2, 39:3), which is the standard numbering convention once a bill is enrolled as law under Chapter 39.
The fiscal note section (containing the Legislative Budget Assistant's fiscal impact estimate of less than $10,000 per year and list of agencies contacted) was removed, as it is an internal document that does not become part of the enacted statute.
TIMELINE
Explicit approval date (April 22, 2026) and effective date (June 21, 2026) were added at the end of the document, consistent with the 60-day effective period already stated in the bill's text.
