The bill amends Section 10-16D-3 of the New Mexico Statutes to enhance the Sunshine Portal, which serves as a public resource for state financial information aimed at promoting governmental transparency and accountability. Key updates include the requirement for the Sunshine Portal to provide links to the statutory provisions that create each state fund, thereby allowing users direct access to the legal language associated with these funds. Additionally, the bill mandates that the Sunshine Portal must include various financial data, such as state cash balances, investment accounts, agency budgets, and contract details, ensuring that the information is updated at least monthly.

Furthermore, the bill specifies that state agencies are responsible for providing updated financial information regularly, and the department must maintain the website as the primary source of public information regarding state government activities. The effective date for the provisions of this act is set for December 31, 2025. This legislative effort aims to improve public access to state financial data and enhance the overall transparency of government operations in New Mexico.
