Bill > HB3

This bill, titled the "Department of Transportation Appropriation Act of 2026," outlines the appropriations and expenditures for the New Mexico Department of Transportation for Fiscal Year 2027. It defines key terms such as "agency" (any state government office or department), "federal funds" (payments from the U.S. government excluding those from the Mineral Leasing Act), and "general fund" (the state's primary fund, with specific inclusions and exclusions). The bill details appropriations for various programs within the Department of Transportation, including project design and construction, highway operations, program support, and modal programs (which manage federal grants for transit, rail, traffic safety, and aviation). For each program, it specifies amounts for personal services, contractual services, and other expenses, and includes performance measures to evaluate program effectiveness, such as the percentage of projects completed on schedule or the condition of highway infrastructure. The bill also establishes a standardized format for presenting these appropriations, consistent with previous general appropriation acts.
