SUMMARY

 

Synopsis of Bill

 

House Bill 365 appropriates $200 thousand from the general fund to Insurance Program of the Public Regulation Commission for the purpose of preparing feasibility studies, capital construction and improvement plans, and implementation plans to attain minimum standards for fire protection services and to complete the building process at the state Firefighter Training Academy in Socorro, New Mexico.

 

Significant Issues

 

The original plans for construction for the Academy included a second phase, which has not funded according to the agency. HB365 would provide funding to compile new plans for expansion of the physical plant and programs of the training academy.

 

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS

 

The appropriation of $200 thousand contained in this bill is a non-recurring expense to the general fund. Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of FY05 shall revert to the general fund.
