SB 81 New Mexico Senate · 2026 Regular Session

PRIMARY CARE CAPITAL FUNDING ACT

SB 81 allocates $25 million from the general fund to the New Mexico Finance Authority for primary care capital projects, such as facility construction or equipment upgrades. This funding directly supports primary care facilities (like clinics and community health centers) across New Mexico by providing capital resources. The bill specifies that unspent funds from this allocation will not return to the general fund at year-end, ensuring continued availability for future projects. The appropriation is set for fiscal year 2027 and subsequent years, enabling long-term planning for primary care infrastructure needs.
