SAFE SLEEP FOR INFANTS OUTREACH & EDUCATION
SB 517, introduced by Senator Angel M. Charley, allocates $100,000 from New Mexico's general fund to the Department of Health to create a program providing new parents with items that support safe infant sleep, such as sleep sacks or safe sleep gear. The program will operate during fiscal year 2026, directly benefiting new parents across the state by offering free, practical resources to reduce sleep-related infant risks. Any unspent funds by the end of fiscal year 2026 will revert to the state's general fund. This bill focuses on making safe sleep resources accessible without cost to families.
