This bill proposes an appropriation of nineteen million seven hundred thousand dollars ($19,700,000) from the general fund to the Health Care Authority. The allocated funds are intended to increase Medicaid reimbursement rates for nursing homes in New Mexico for the fiscal year 2026.

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 do not remain allocated indefinitely.
