METHODOLOGY:

This bill repeals Chapter 141:317, Laws of 2025, which directs the state to sell the Anna Philbrook Center for Children by June 30, 2027.  The budget assumed the state would collect $5 million from the sale of the facility, which will no longer be collected should the section be repealed.  The Department of Health and Human Services states the facility is currently being used as both an adult transitional housing center and as office space for approximately 40 state staff who perform back office functions for NH Hospital.  The Department assumes that repealing the section will save $75,000 - $90,000 in renovation and other costs associated with sale of the property and movement of equipment to other locations.  These savings would be a mixture of general and other funds.
