STATE TRUST PROGRAM ACCOUNTABILITY PLAN

HB 187 requires state agencies receiving funding from New Mexico's Government Results and Opportunity Expendable Trust to submit annual accountability and evaluation plans. These plans must detail program goals, evidence-based practices, performance metrics, evaluation methods, and public reporting schedules. Agencies must submit the plans by July 1 each year (and revised versions by September 1 if requested), with the Budget Division and Legislative Finance Committee reviewing final evaluations by July 15 to inform future budget decisions. This bill directly affects state agencies managing trust-funded programs and aims to standardize how their effectiveness is measured and reported.
