This bill proposes an appropriation of five million dollars ($5,000,000) from the general fund to the local government division of the Department of Finance and Administration. The funds are designated for the construction, equipment, and furnishings of a regional emergency operations center in Los Alamos County, with expenditures planned for fiscal years 2026 and 2027.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that any unexpended balance remaining at the end of fiscal year 2027 will revert back to the general fund, ensuring that unused funds are returned to the state’s budget. This measure aims to enhance emergency response capabilities in the region by establishing a dedicated operations center.
