The bill proposes an appropriation of ten million dollars ($10,000,000) from the general fund to the Department of Environment for the fiscal year 2026. The allocated funds are intended for planning, designing, and constructing projects aimed at improving river, stream, and wetland habitats, as well as enhancing surface water quality.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of fiscal year 2026 will revert back to the general fund, ensuring that unused funds are returned to the state’s budget. This measure reflects a commitment to environmental conservation and the maintenance of water quality in New Mexico.
