Bill > HB515

This bill provides a specific appropriation of $1.5 million from the New Mexico state general fund to the Board of Regents of Western New Mexico University (WNMU) for the purpose of creating and supporting a new men's baseball program. The funding is allocated to be used across fiscal years 2026 and 2027, with any remaining unspent funds required to be returned to the general fund at the end of fiscal year 2027. This appropriation represents a targeted investment in expanding WNMU's athletic programs by establishing a men's baseball team, which will require initial funding for expenses such as equipment, coaching staff, facilities, scholarships, and other program startup and operational costs.
