The bill proposes an appropriation of $200,000 from the general fund to the workforce solutions department for the fiscal year 2026. The funds are designated to support evidence-based school re-engagement programs aimed at youth in central New Mexico. These programs will focus on providing guidance in career exploration, skill development, and assistance with transitioning into the workforce or higher education.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of fiscal year 2026 will revert back to the general fund. This ensures that the allocated funds are utilized effectively within the designated timeframe.
