CREATIVE INDUSTRIES FUND
HB 265 allocates $4 million from New Mexico's general fund to the Creative Industries Fund for grants supporting creative businesses and organizations (e.g., artists, filmmakers, musicians). The funds, designated for fiscal year 2026 and beyond, will be administered by the Economic Development Department's creative industries division. Unspent funds will roll over to future years instead of reverting to the general fund, ensuring continued support for the sector.
