SUMMARY

Synopsis of Bill

House Bill 1033 appropriates $50.0 from the General Fund to Local Government Division for

expenditures in 2008 for the New Mexico Youth Day Holiday Rodeo at the Bar-Diamond-S-

Arena in Bernalillo County.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS

unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of FY08 shall revert to the General

Fund.

SIGNIFICANT ISSUES

HB 1033 will provide $50.0 to help finance costs associated with the New Mexico Youth Day

holiday which will be held on Saturday, August 4, 2007 at the Los Vecinos Community Center

in Tijeras. Prime Time for Kids is a 501(c) (3) organization which was founded in 2000. Prime

Time is a community-based program that reaches out to at-risk children. The target populations

are middle and high school students. The goals of Prime Time are to keep children active when

they are not is school and to keep children in school. To participate in Prime Time activities, a

child must either be in school or actively pursuing a GED.

The New Mexico Youth Day has been an annual event for the last few years. A Youth Advisory

Committee, made up of approximately 15 children, is responsible for planning the entire day.

The kids plan the events, seek corporate donations and meet with and secure sponsors for the

day. The Committee meets weekly and each member is assigned a specific task to be completed

with an agreed upon timeframe. This enables the children to set and meet goals, learn skills, and

have something to do with themselves after school and on weekends.

The Youth Day will bring in over 3,000 students from around the state. There will be a youth

rodeo, basketball games, a car show, a spelling bee, and a skateboard competition among many

other activities. There will be free food and prizes. An appropriation contained in HB 885

would help purchase special awards to be given out for student accomplishments and for the cost

of licensing and insuring the event.

Prime Time is also working on establishing a New Mexico Youth Day. HB 363, SB 626, and SB

786 have been introduced to create a New Mexico Youth Day which would fall on the first

Saturday of August each year. HB 1033 is the only bill with an appropriation attached to it for

the rodeo associated with 2007 Youth Day.
