relative to consolidating the New Hampshire health and education facilities authority within the business finance authority and establishing a surplus land revitalization program.
This bill consolidates the New Hampshire Health and Education Facilities Authority (HEFA) into the New Hampshire Business Finance Authority (BFA), effective July 1, 2025. It transfers all HEFA assets, liabilities, contracts, and employees to BFA without interruption of service, benefits, or compensation. The bill establishes BFA as the successor for all HEFA obligations and modifies how BFA issues certain bonds for health and education facility financing. This consolidation aims to streamline operations and achieve efficiencies in financing for health and education facilities across New Hampshire.
