SUMMARY
Synopsis
of Bill
Senate Bill 308 appropriates $750.0 from the
TANF federal funds to the Board of Regents of New Mexico State University for
the cooperative extension service. The
appropriation is to develop and implement programs that increase the marriage
rate and strengthen fatherhood, parenting and family formation.
Significant
Issues
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
The appropriation of $750.0 contained in this
bill is a recurring expense to the TANF federal funds. Any unexpended or unencumbered
balance remaining at the end of fiscal year 2003 shall revert to the TANF
federal funds.
ADMINISTRATIVE IMPLICATIONS
Program monitoring and standardized reporting
procedures will need to be developed to assess program and funding
effectiveness.
OTHER SUBSTANTIVE ISSUES
HSD is the designated single state agency
responsible for the proper utilization, reporting and outcomes of TANF
programs. Also, only HSD is authorized
to draw the federal TANF funds. Making
a direct appropriation of TANF funds to New Mexico State rather than through
HSD may introduce program-management complications
