Bill Summary
AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION TO EXPAND ACCESS AND ENROLLMENT IN ADULT LITERACY PROGRAMS STATEWIDE.
AI Summary
This bill appropriates $10 million from the state's general fund to the New Mexico Higher Education Department specifically to expand access and enrollment in adult literacy programs across the state during fiscal years 2026 and 2027. The funding is intended to support programs that help adults improve their reading, writing, and basic educational skills. Any money from this appropriation that remains unspent or uncommitted by the end of fiscal year 2027 will automatically be returned to the general fund. The bill's goal appears to be addressing educational gaps and providing opportunities for adults to enhance their literacy skills, which can have broader societal benefits such as improved employability, personal development, and community engagement.
