Bill > HB1569

This bill repeals a previous legislative directive from 2025 that required the state to sell the Anna Philbrook Center property located in Concord, New Hampshire. Currently, the facility is being used for two purposes: as an adult transitional housing center and as office space for approximately 40 state staff who work on administrative functions for NH Hospital. By repealing the original directive, the state will no longer be obligated to sell the property by June 30, 2027, as previously mandated. The fiscal note indicates that this repeal will prevent the state from collecting an anticipated $5 million from the property sale and will potentially save $75,000 to $90,000 in renovation and relocation costs. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage and does not provide new funding or authorize additional positions. The fiscal impact will primarily affect the General Fund, with potential savings coming from avoiding costs associated with property sale and staff relocation.
