SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
Senate Bill 31 appropriates $200,000 from the General Fund to the Board of Regents of New
Mexico State University Dona Ana Branch to establish an accredited dental hygiene educational
program. Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of fiscal year 2006
shall revert to the general fund.
Significant Issues
The Commission of Higher Education notes that this request was not in the list of priority pro-
jects submitted by New Mexico State University to the Commission on Higher Education for re-
view. Accordingly, it was not included in the commission’s funding recommendation for FY06.
