SB 436 New Mexico Senate · 2025 Regular Session

WORKFORCE SOLUTIONS DEPT. FUNDING

SB 436 appropriates $100 million from New Mexico's general fund to the Workforce Solutions Department for fiscal year 2026 and beyond. The funding is specifically intended to cover rising operational costs caused by increased client demand for the department's services. Unspent funds at year-end will not return to the general fund, ensuring continued support for growing service needs. This bill directly affects the department's ability to serve more residents seeking workforce programs like job training and employment assistance.
