BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO:

     Section 1. APPROPRIATION.--One hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) is appropriated from the general fund to the board of regents of the university of New Mexico for expenditure in fiscal year 2010 and subsequent fiscal years to support the work of the Julian Samora legacy project now housed at the southwest Hispanic research institute on the university's campus.
