SUMMARY

Synopsis of Bill

Senate Bill 867 appropriates $50.0 to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Albuquerque and Rio Rancho

to provide before- and after-school programs that will address juvenile delinquency, domestic

violence and educational inadequacies.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS

The appropriation of $50.0 contained in this bill is a recurring expense to the General Fund. Any

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

Fund.

SIGNIFICANT ISSUES

The appropriation in SB 867 will be used to provide educational and recreational programs for

children in the Rio Rancho area at no or low cost, before and after school. This will provide the

kids with supervised activities during the time that the child is out of school but before the

parents get home.

In 2006, over 35% of children served by after-school programs were from low-income

households, 40% were from single parent households, and 64% were from ethnic minorities.

The programs offered by the Boys and Girls Clubs of Albuquerque and Rio Rancho allow the

children to interact with other children, remain supervised at no cost, or very low cost, to the

working parents, and ensure that the children remain in a constructive and safe environment until

their parents get home.
