Bill Summary

AN ACT RELATING TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT; MAKING THE BIOSCIENCE DEVELOPMENT FUND A NONREVERTING FUND; CREATING THE BIOSCIENCE CO-INVESTMENT FUND; IMPOSING RESTRICTIONS ON CO-INVESTMENT.

AI Summary

This bill makes the Bioscience Development Fund a non-reverting fund, meaning any unspent money in the fund at the end of a fiscal year will not revert back to the general fund. It also creates the Bioscience Co-investment Fund, which will partner with private investment organizations with at least 5 years of experience investing in New Mexico-based companies. The bill imposes restrictions on this co-investment, requiring at least a 2-to-1 ratio of private investment to public investment, and requiring any entities receiving funds to establish operations in New Mexico with more than 5 employees for at least 5 years or until the business is no longer solvent. The effective date of these provisions is July 1, 2023.
