Bill > SB79

This bill appropriates $2 million from the general fund to the New Mexico Department of Health for fiscal years 2027 and 2028 to fund activities aimed at monitoring, controlling, and reducing mosquito populations, which is crucial for public health as mosquitoes can transmit diseases. The Department of Health is authorized to use up to $1.5 million of this funding to award grants to local governments and state educational institutions, as defined by Article 12, Section 11 of the New Mexico Constitution, for their own mosquito surveillance, prevention, and mitigation projects. Any funds not spent by the end of fiscal year 2028 will be returned to the general fund.
