AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC FINANCE; ENACTING THE EARLY CHILDHOOD LAND GRANT ACT; CREATING THE EARLY CHILDHOOD LAND GRANT PERMANENT FUND AND THE EARLY CHILDHOOD INCOME FUND; PROVIDING FOR ANNUAL DISTRIBUTIONS FROM THE EARLY CHILDHOOD LAND GRANT PERMANENT FUND AND AUTHORIZING EXPENDITURE OF THOSE DISTRIBUTIONS.

AI Summary

This bill establishes the Early Childhood Land Grant Act in New Mexico. It creates the Early Childhood Land Grant Permanent Fund, which will be funded by revenue generated from the management of unleased federal subsurface mineral acreage beneath private land transferred to the state. The fund's annual distributions will go to the Early Childhood Income Fund, which will then be appropriated by the legislature for early childhood services and to cover the state land office's costs associated with managing the transferred lands. The bill aims to increase funding for early childhood programs in New Mexico, which has high rates of child poverty, in order to improve educational and life outcomes for young children.
