SUMMARY

Synopsis of Bill

Senate Bill 760 appropriates $84,000 from the General Fund to the Office of Indian Affairs for the purpose of conducting a feasibility study of a Dine College campus at Twin Peaks.

Significant Issues

The Office of Indian Affairs reports that Dine College is chartered by the Navajo Nation and has completed its own strategic plan which at this time does not include plans for a campus in Twin Lakes.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS

The appropriation of $84.0 contained in this bill is a non-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.
