The bill amends the Public School Capital Outlay Act to include the New Mexico Military Institute as one of the "constitutional special schools." This addition recognizes the institute alongside the existing New Mexico School for the Blind and Visually Impaired and the New Mexico School for the Deaf. The amendment aims to enhance the support and resources available for these specialized educational institutions, ensuring they are acknowledged within the framework of public school capital improvements.

In the revised definitions, the term "constitutional special schools" now explicitly includes the New Mexico Military Institute, thereby expanding the scope of the act. This change is intended to facilitate better funding and infrastructure support for the unique needs of these schools, which serve specific populations and require tailored facilities and resources to fulfill their educational missions effectively.
