This bill proposes an appropriation of $200,000 from the general fund to the Children, Youth and Families Department for the fiscal year 2027. The funds are designated to provide statewide support and family affirmation services specifically for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) families. Additionally, the bill aims to fund education and outreach services to encourage LGBTQ individuals and families to consider foster parenting and adoption.

The bill stipulates that any unspent funds at the end of fiscal year 2027 will revert back to the general fund, ensuring that the appropriation is managed responsibly. This initiative reflects a commitment to supporting diverse family structures and promoting inclusivity within the foster care and adoption systems in New Mexico.
