SUMMARY

Synopsis of Bill

Senate Bill 911 appropriates $500 thousand from the general fund to the Martin Luther King

Commission for a peace conference to be held in Santa Fe and planned in cooperation with the

King center in Atlanta.

Significant Issues

MLK supports such a conference in New Mexico. The conference would identify current issues

and new programs that are successful throughout the country. It would also provide an opportu-

nity to recognize NM citizens who have promoted the principles and philosophy of MLK.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS

The appropriation of $500 thousand contained in this bill is a non-recurring expense to the gen-

eral fund. Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of FY06 shall revert

to the general fund.
