This bill appropriates five million dollars ($5,000,000) from the general fund to the Local Government Division of the Department of Finance and Administration. The funds are designated for the Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District to implement wildfire prevention measures over the fiscal years 2026 through 2031. Specific activities funded by this appropriation include the cleanup of underbrush, tree thinning, and cattle grazing.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of fiscal year 2031 will revert back to the general fund. This ensures that any unused funds are returned to the state’s financial resources, promoting fiscal responsibility in the management of the allocated funds for wildfire prevention efforts.
