This bill appropriates $250,000 from the general fund to the board of regents of New Mexico State University for the purpose of developing a high school New Mexico history curriculum. The curriculum will specifically focus on the settlement of the lower Estancia Valley, covering the period from pre-Columbian times to the modern era. The funds are designated for expenditure during the fiscal years 2026 and 2027.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of fiscal year 2027 will revert back to the general fund. This ensures that any unused funds are returned to the state budget, promoting fiscal responsibility.
