House Memorial 64 requests that the Indian Affairs Department of New Mexico enhance its capacity to provide technical assistance to the state's Indian nations, tribes, and pueblos. This initiative aims to promote the effective and timely use of funds for capital outlay projects, especially in light of the legislature's ongoing consideration of changes to the capital outlay process. The memorial emphasizes the department's role in overseeing capital outlay project appropriations from the general fund and its mission to assist these communities in securing resources and funding.
The resolution encourages the Indian Affairs Department to build its capacity for increased technical assistance, thereby improving support for capital outlay projects undertaken by Indian nations, tribes, and pueblos. Additionally, it mandates that copies of the memorial be sent to the governor and the secretary of Indian affairs to ensure awareness and action on this request.
