The New Hampshire Fiscal Committee convened on May 16, 2025, to discuss several key items, including the approval of audits and significant funding measures. The committee focused on streamlining processes to ensure timely access to financial audits, which have been prioritized in recent sessions.
One of the main topics was the de facto approval of the American Rescue Plan, extending its provisions through December 2026, alongside the bipartisan infrastructure law, which will be effective until June 30, 2027. The motion for this approval was made by Senator Rosenwald and seconded by President Carson, receiving unanimous support from the committee members.
Additionally, the committee reviewed the minutes from their previous meeting on April 18, which were also approved without any corrections. The meeting proceeded to address the consent calendar, where several items were removed for further discussion. The remaining items on the consent calendar were adopted with no opposition.
Overall, the meeting underscored the committee's commitment to efficient financial oversight and the ongoing implementation of federal funding initiatives aimed at supporting state infrastructure and recovery efforts.
