Bill Summary

This bill requires indigent mediation costs to be funded out of the mediation fund without reimbursement.

AI Summary

This bill requires indigent mediation costs to be funded out of the mediation and arbitration fund established in RSA 490-E:4, without seeking reimbursement from the parties. The bill also amends RSA 461-A:18 to remove references to the guardian ad litem fund, which was repealed in 2011, and the part of the law dealing with guardians ad litem. The Judicial Branch believes the fiscal impact of this bill would be minimal, as it simply removes the requirement for indigent parties to repay the mediation and arbitration fund for the cost of their mediation, which averages around $68,600 annually.
