Summary
Rep. Bobbi Boudman asked the Delegation to consider using opioid grant funds to support summer recreation and school programs in Effingham and Ossipee, saying 77 children would benefit and 30 lack scholarship support; Executive Director Mellisa Seamans to review eligibility and process for a supplemental budget hearing.
Rep. Bobbi Boudman urged the Delegation to move quickly to release opioid settlement funds for summer programs in Effingham and Ossipee, saying 77 children are affected and 30 lack scholarship funding. She emphasized that delaying action until after summer would miss the need for programs and scholarships.
Executive Director Mellisa Seamans said she would follow up on the criteria for opioid fund use and advise whether a supplemental budget hearing would be required; Delegation members noted that because the budget is closed any new expenditures would need a supplemental budget process and Commissioners’ approval. No supplemental budget vote was taken at the meeting; members discussed a possible July hearing if funds are eligible and needed.
