This bill proposes an appropriation of five million dollars ($5,000,000) from the general fund to the New Mexico Department of Health. The funds are designated for the New Mexico Health Service Corps, specifically aimed at enhancing the recruitment and retention of healthcare providers who serve rural or underserved populations, as well as patients at federally qualified health centers. The bill stipulates that a maximum of two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) can be allocated for administrative costs associated with this initiative.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision that any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of fiscal year 2027 will revert back to the general fund. This ensures that funds not utilized for their intended purpose will not remain allocated indefinitely, promoting fiscal responsibility within the state's budget.
