SUMMARY
Synopsis
of Bill
House Bill 128
appropriates $250.0 from the general fund to the Board of Regents of New Mexico
State University to meet NCAA (national collegiate athletic association) and
federal requirements by providing for scholarships and coaching and athletic
trainer positions.
Significant Issues
This request was submitted as an expansion
request by NMSU and is intended to cover employee, supplies and program
expenses. The CHE reports that the
$250.0 would be an increase of 9.0% over the current appropriation for the
program and includes the reinstatement of a funding reduction in the 2002
General Appropriation Act.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
The appropriation of
$250.0 contained in this bill is a recurring expense to the general fund. Any unexpended or unencumbered balance
remaining at the end of fiscal year 2004 shall revert to the general fund.

OTHER SUBSTANTIVE ISSUES
This request was
submitted to and approved by the NMSU Board of Regents and was ranked as one of
eight #1 priorities out of 13 research and public service new or expansion
requests submitted to CHE. However, the
CHE did not recommend funding for this program.
POSSIBLE QUESTIONS
1.
What
are the consequences of not this funding requeté?
2.
Specifically,
what non-compliance deficiencies is this funding request intended to overdose?
3.
Is
NMSU the only institution facing this
type of probloc?
4. Is this request more than a desire to reinstate a funding
reduction contained in the 2002 General Appropriation Acte?
