The bill proposes an appropriation of three million dollars ($3,000,000) from the general fund to the local government division of the Department of Finance and Administration. This funding is designated for the development of communication infrastructure, specifically targeting cellular telephone and radio towers, in Dona Ana, Hidalgo, and Luna counties.
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 aims to enhance communication capabilities in the specified counties, potentially improving connectivity and emergency response services.
