NMMI IN CAPITAL OUTLAY ACT

SB 280 adds the New Mexico Military Institute (NMMI) to the list of "constitutional special schools" under New Mexico's Public School Capital Outlay Act. This change directly affects NMMI by making it eligible for state funding to support school facility improvements, such as building systems and infrastructure. The bill amends the legal definition of "constitutional special schools" to include NMMI alongside the New Mexico School for the Blind and Visually Impaired and the New Mexico School for the Deaf. This is a procedural update to the existing funding law, ensuring NMMI qualifies for capital outlay funding like other designated special schools.
