STUDY CREATING REGIONAL URGENT CARE
SB 183 appropriates $250,000 from the general fund to the New Mexico Health Care Authority to study creating regional urgent care or emergency facilities in Torrance County and nearby areas. The study will examine whether such facilities are practical and beneficial for residents in that region. The funds must be spent by fiscal year 2027, with any unspent balance returning to the general fund. This bill does not create facilities but only funds the initial research phase.
