Bill Summary
AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION TO THE NEW MEXICO DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE FOR THE OPERATIONS AND PROGRAMS OF SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICTS STATEWIDE.
AI Summary
This bill appropriates $3 million from New Mexico's general fund to New Mexico State University's board of regents, specifically for the New Mexico Department of Agriculture to fund soil and water conservation districts (SWCDs) statewide during fiscal year 2026. The funding is intended to help these districts carry out their legally mandated responsibilities as outlined in state law (Sections 73-20-25 through 73-20-48). Soil and water conservation districts are local, government-sponsored organizations that work to manage and protect natural resources, helping farmers, ranchers, and landowners implement conservation practices. Any money from this appropriation that remains unspent at the end of fiscal year 2026 will be returned to the general fund, ensuring accountability and proper use of state resources.
