AI Summary

This bill appropriates $250,000 from the New Mexico state general fund to New Mexico State University's board of regents, specifically to support the Torrance County Farm and Livestock Bureau in developing a specialized high school New Mexico history curriculum. The curriculum will focus on documenting the historical settlement of the Lower Estancia Valley, covering a comprehensive timeline from pre-Columbian periods through the modern era. The funds are designated for use during fiscal years 2026 and 2027, with the intention of creating a locally-offered course that provides students with an in-depth look at the region's historical development. Any unused funds at the end of fiscal year 2027 will be returned to the state's general fund, ensuring fiscal accountability and responsible use of the appropriated resources.
