The bill proposes an appropriation of ten million dollars ($10,000,000) from the general fund to the New Mexico Department of Environment for the planning, design, and construction of the Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project, specifically the regional water line Beacon-Bisti-N9, Cutter Lateral 371/Interstate 40 project. This initiative aims to provide a critical water supply to twelve Navajo chapters, including Coyote Canyon, Tse'ii'ahi', Nahodishgish, Crownpoint, and others. The funding is designated for expenditure during fiscal years 2026 through 2028.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of fiscal year 2028 shall revert to the general fund. This ensures that any funds not utilized for the project will be returned to the state’s general fund, promoting fiscal responsibility.
