HB 64 New Mexico House · 2026 Regular Session

PUBLIC PROJECT REVOLVING FUND APPROPRIATIONS

HB 64 allocates $13.25 million from New Mexico's Public Project Revolving Fund to three specific state funds for fiscal year 2027 and beyond. It provides $6.25 million to the Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund to match federal projects under the Safe Drinking Water Act, $2 million to the Local Government Planning Fund, and $5 million to the Cultural Affairs Facilities Infrastructure Fund for facility upgrades. The bill ensures unspent funds remain with the recipient programs instead of returning to the original revolving fund. This directly supports water infrastructure projects, local government planning initiatives, and cultural facility improvements across the state.

MINOR
The bill was reformatted to remove page numbers and formatting codes while keeping the core appropriations unchanged. The substantive policy content remains identical, with the same funding amounts allocated to three funds for fiscal year 2027 and subsequent years.
TECHNICAL

Removed page numbers, formatting codes, and bracketed deletion markers that were present in the introduced version but do not affect the bill's legal effect.

Reorganized the act title and section headers for cleaner formatting without changing the substantive language.
