Bill > HB110

This bill authorizes county governments in New Hampshire to create a public safety revolving fund, which is a special financial account that allows counties to set aside and reuse revenues from specific public safety services. Under this legislation, counties can establish such a fund through a vote of the county convention (a local governing body) to support public safety services performed by county employees outside their regular duties, such as providing security for special events, highway construction projects, or other approved public safety purposes. The fund can be replenished using revenues generated from these services, with any excess funds beyond the original appropriation deposited into the county's general fund. The county treasurer will manage the fund, and expenditures can only be made upon order of county commissioners. The county convention retains the ability to place limitations on how the fund can be used, and importantly, cannot spend money from the revolving fund on items that have been specifically rejected in the current year's budget. The bill takes effect 60 days after its passage, providing counties with a flexible financial tool to manage public safety resources more efficiently.
