This bill appropriates $3,000,000 to the New Hampshire Department of Justice specifically for funding Child Advocacy Centers (CACs) during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, with the funds remaining available until June 30, 2027. Child Advocacy Centers are specialized facilities that provide comprehensive support services for child victims of abuse, coordinating medical, legal, and therapeutic interventions in a child-friendly environment. The appropriation will be drawn from the state treasury from funds not otherwise designated, and the bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025. According to the fiscal note, the funding will be equally distributed, with $1,500,000 allocated in each of fiscal years 2026 and 2027, and will be sourced from the General Fund. The bill does not authorize any new positions within the department and represents a targeted investment in supporting child abuse victims and their families through the state's CAC network.
