SUMMARY
Synopsis
of SFl Amendment #1
Synopsis
of SFC Amendment
The Senate Finance Committee amendment to this
bill strikes the $100.0 appropriation.
EDD believes that it will need additional
resources to administer the 30-person board.
The bill allows the members to be paid per diem and mileage. Even if the board meets only quarterly, as
required by the bill, these expenses could easily reach between $20.0 and
$30.0.
Synopsis
of Original Bill
The Senate Finance Committee Substitute for
Senate Bill 320 creates the thirty-member “Film Advisory Board” which would be
staffed by the Economic Development Department (EDD). Board members would be appointed by the governor. The board will advise EDD and the governor
on the promotion of the film industry in New Mexico. It would also assist EDD in developing a New Mexico “media
infrastructure” and a workforce training program for film production. The thirty board members would not be paid,
but could receive per diem and mileage.
Of the board members, a seven-member “executive board” would be
appointed by the governor.
The bill appropriates $100.0 from the general
fund to EDD to administer the board.
Significant
Issues
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
The appropriation of $100.0 contained in this
bill is a recurring expense to the general fund. Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of
fiscal year 04 shall revert to the general fund.
The appropriation of $100.0 is intended to
provide for administrative costs, including per diem and mileage expenses,
related to the new board.
ADMINISTRATIVE IMPLICATIONS
EDD notes that staff resources of the New Mexico
Film Office will be tapped to support the board.
CONFLICT, DUPLICATION, COMPANIONSHIP,
RELATIONSHIP
This bill relates to the recommended
appropriation of $546.1 for the New Mexico Film Office in the General
Appropriation Act of 2004.
OTHER SUBSTANTIVE ISSUES
The New Mexico Film Office, with 7 FTEs, is one
of EDD’s six divisions. It is
considered part of the Community Development Program for purposes of performance-based
budgeting. The FY04 LFC budget
recommendation for the Film Office is $546.1.
