YDC

Attorney General John Formella’s first term was scheduled to end in March, but Gov. Kelly Ayotte kept him on temporarily while she evaluated his department.

In 2022, the state of New Hampshire created the Youth Development Center Claims Administration and Settlement Fund to provide compensation for survivors of sexual and other abuse.

While the governor's office described Broderick's departure as a "resignation," Broderick himself disputed that term, saying he had no intention of leaving but that a change in state law has ended his tenure.

A new law gives Gov. Kelly Ayotte and Attorney General John Formella significant power to decide how much victims are compensated for abuse they suffered at the state’s former youth detention center.

The state budget set to take effect next week would give the governor and attorney general considerable control over the Youth Development Center Settlement Fund, including what victims are paid. A new lawsuit asks the court to halt that.

Victims abused at the state’s former youth detention said proposed changes to the selection of the YDC settlement fund administrator would be unfair.

Top State House Republicans and Attorney General John Formella have cited concerns about the management of the YDC settlements as one reason to shrink the amount of money in the fund. An audit found no problems.

The settlement fund for victims of abuse at the state’s Youth Development Center is facing financial pressure and skepticism from lawmakers.

The state’s settlement fund for victims abused at the state’s former youth detention center is nearly out of money, with two months left to file claims. Lawmakers have not fully funded it over questions about payments to lawyers.
