SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
House Bill 58 appropriates funds to the Tourism Department for the purpose of contracting to provide culturally competent tourism service assistance to Indian nations, tribes and pueblos located in New Mexico.
Significant Issues
The Tourism Department currently operates an Indian Tourism program within the Travel and Marketing Division. In fiscal year 1999, the department spent $97.5 or 1.5 percent of the division budget on Indian Tourism. This bill would essentially double that particular aspect of the budget.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
The bill appropriates $100.0 in general fund to the Tourism Department for expenditure in FY01. Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of FY01 shall revert to the general fund.
