Bill > HB92

This bill provides a $10 million appropriation from the New Mexico state general fund to the Department of Environment, specifically designated for water quality improvement projects in fiscal year 2026. The funding is intended to support planning, design, and construction efforts focused on enhancing river, stream, and wetland habitats, as well as improving surface water quality throughout the state. Any funds from this appropriation that remain unspent or uncommitted by the end of fiscal year 2026 will be returned to the general fund, ensuring fiscal accountability and preventing unused funds from being carried over indefinitely. The bill represents a targeted investment in environmental infrastructure and ecosystem restoration, demonstrating the state's commitment to maintaining and improving its natural water resources.
