SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
House Bill 57 appropriates $500.0 from the general fund to EDD for expenditure in FY05 and
FY06 to contract for manufacturing extension services. House Bill 57 contains an emergency
clause.
Significant Issues
The appropriation in this bill is contingent upon the receipt of money from the National Institute
of Standards & Technology (NIST) to operate a manufacturing center, approved by NIST, in
New Mexico.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
The appropriation of $500.0 contained in this bill is a recurring expense to the general fund. Any
unexpended or unencumbered balance at the end of FY06 shall revert to the general fund

Duplicates SB78
TECHNICAL ISSUES
EDD indicates “manufacturing extension service” should be defined, the amount of contingent
funding should be defined, “manufacturing center” should be defined, and it is not clear how ap-
proval or lack thereof for a manufacturing center in New Mexico by NIST affects the provisions
of the funds.
OTHER SUBSTANTIVE ISSUES
EDD indicates the emergency clause should be deleted.
