ANALYSIS

 

\tThis bill removes a reference in the law that permitted a portion of state procurement card rebates to be used to reduce the unfunded liability of the New Hampshire retirement system.

 

\tThe bill addresses a procedural issue in the adoption of an amendment to SB 191-FN during the 2015 legislative session, which provided for the deposit of such rebates in the general fund.
