Bill > HB115

This bill appropriates $859,000 from the state's general fund to the New Mexico Health Care Authority specifically to fund long-term residential treatment services in fiscal year 2026. The funding is designated for a specific organization located in Dona Ana County that uses a "soteria model" of care, which is a collaborative, non-medical approach to supporting individuals with serious mental illness and psychosis. The bill specifies that if any portion of the appropriated funds remain unused or uncommitted at the end of the fiscal year, those funds will be returned to the general fund. By targeting funding to a specific organizational model and geographic location, the bill aims to support specialized mental health treatment services for a vulnerable population, with a clear mechanism for fiscal accountability.
