| 336 | | - | This bill allows the Secretary of State to require pooled risk management programs to address financial deficiencies by having assessments on participating members when program's assets are insufficient, and by setting standards for the management of the programs which includes audits, actuarial evaluations, and maintaining minimum contingency reserves. |

| 340 | | - | The New Hampshire Municipal Association (NHMA) indicates that the bill could lead to an unpredictable rise in expenditures for cities, towns, counties, and school districts involved in pooled risk management programs. The potential increase stems from the need to gather additional contributions from members if an annual audit, actuarial determination, or Secretary of State investigation reveals insufficient assets or potential receivership in the pooled risk management. Additionally, the risk management pool must reimburse the Secretary of State for oversight costs, introducing a new administrative expense that may be passed on to pool members. |

| 344 | | - | The New Hampshire Association on Counties (NHAC) states that this bill could lead to an indeterminable increase in expenditures for counties involved in pooled risk management programs. The potential increase stems from the need to gather additional contributions from members if an annual audit, actuarial determination, or Secretary of State investigation reveals insufficient assets. Additionally, there could be administrative costs that would be taken on by pool members also increasing expenditures. |

Lastly, the NHMA notes that certain terms in the bill are vague or undefined, which could result in legal disputes and increased litigation costs for pool members. |
