The bill establishes the "Biliteracy Development and Training Project" as a three-year pilot initiative aimed at enhancing educational outcomes for at-risk students through specialized biliteracy training and professional development for teachers. It defines key terms such as "at-risk students," "biliteracy," "multiliteracy," and "transliteracy," and outlines the project's requirements, including the creation of regional and statewide programs that provide comprehensive training in biliteracy instruction. The project will prioritize the selection of teachers from districts with significant bilingual learner enrollment and will involve collaboration with a qualified private provider to administer the training programs.

Additionally, the bill mandates the Public Education Department to develop standards for the training programs and to measure their effectiveness in collaboration with a New Mexico-based nonprofit organization. It also requires the department to report on various metrics related to student biliteracy development and overall educational outcomes. To support this initiative, the bill appropriates $6,645,000 from the general fund for the fiscal years 2027 through 2029, with any unspent funds reverting to the general fund at the end of the period.
