WNMU MEN'S BASEBALL TEAM

HB 515 appropriates $1.5 million from the state general fund to the Board of Regents of Western New Mexico University (WNMU) to create and support a men's baseball program during fiscal years 2026 and 2027. Any unspent funds at the end of 2027 would revert to the general fund. The bill, introduced by Representatives Terrazas, Ramos, and Brantley, was referred to committees but was postponed indefinitely on June 3, 2025. This is a funding measure for a specific university sports program, not a policy change affecting broader public interests.
