STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Nineteen
AN ACT making an appropriation to the FRM victims' contribution recovery fund.
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
1 Statement of Purpose. The general court hereby finds that in 2016 the general court was presented with documented evidence that certain state agencies made mistakes knowingly or unknowingly that resulted in the continuation of the Financial Resources Mortgage (FRM) fraud causing financial harm to many victims. In response, the legislature enacted 2016, 293 (SB 155), which established the FRM victims’ contribution recovery fund to provide restitution assistance. To date, the fund has not received significant gifts or contributions of any kind. Without a state appropriation or other meaningful funding source, the fund will remain unable to award the recovery assistance intended by the enactment of RSA 359-P.
2 Appropriation; FRM Victims' Contribution Recovery Fund. For the purpose of awarding recovery assistance to victims of the FRM fraud, there is hereby appropriated the sum of $10,000,000, for the biennium ending June 30, 2021, to the FRM victims' contribution recovery fund established in RSA 359-P:2. The governor is authorized to draw a warrant for said sum out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated.
3 Effective Date. This act shall take effect July 1, 2019.
