HOUSING CONSTRUCTION CURRICULUM

HB 338 appropriates $750,000 from the general fund to Northern New Mexico State School for developing a cost-effective, energy-efficient, and rapid housing construction system alongside a corresponding curriculum. The bill directly affects the school, which would use the funds in fiscal year 2026 to create both the housing system and related training materials. Key provisions include the specific funding amount, the requirement for energy efficiency and speed in housing development, and the rule that unspent funds revert to the state treasury. The bill focuses on curriculum development for housing construction methods, not on immediate housing deployment or policy changes for residents.
