BUILD CAPACITY FOR CAPITAL OUTLAY CHANGES

This House Memorial (HM 64) is a non-binding request urging New Mexico's Indian Affairs Department to build capacity for providing technical assistance to the state's Indian nations, tribes, and pueblos. It specifically asks the department to prepare for more efficient support regarding capital outlay projects - funded from the general state budget - amid pending legislative changes to the capital outlay process. The memorial does not change policy but formally encourages the department to strengthen its ability to help tribal entities access and manage these funds. (Note: As a memorial, it has no legal force but expresses legislative intent.)
