COUNTY & TRIBAL HEALTH COUNCILS ACT FUNDING

HB 104 appropriates $8 million from the general fund to New Mexico's Department of Health for fiscal years 2027-2028 to support county and tribal health councils under the County and Tribal Health Councils Act. The bill specifically allocates $1 million to contract for services assisting the Department of Health in supporting these councils. Any unspent funds by the end of 2028 would revert to the general fund. This funding directly enables local health councils to operate and engage with state health initiatives.
