This bill proposes an appropriation of $150,000 from the general fund to the Local Government Division of the Department of Finance and Administration. The funds are designated for the Estancia Valley Solid Waste Authority to facilitate collaboration, planning, and design efforts for a recycling site specifically for wind turbine blades.
The bill stipulates that the allocated funds are to be used during the fiscal year 2027, and any unspent balance at the end of that fiscal year will revert back to the general fund. This initiative aims to address the growing need for sustainable disposal and recycling solutions for wind turbine blades, promoting environmental responsibility within the state.
