Bill Summary
AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR NEW POLICE DEPARTMENTS IN COMMUNITIES WITHIN VALENCIA COUNTY.
AI Summary
This bill provides a one million dollar appropriation from the state's general fund to the local government division of the New Mexico Department of Finance and Administration, specifically designated for establishing new police departments in Valencia County communities with populations of up to 5,000 residents. The funding, which will be available in fiscal year 2026, is intended to cover start-up costs including officers' salaries, training, and equipment. Any funds not spent or committed 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.
