FUND DISBURSEMENTS FOR EDUCATIONAL RADIO

SB 199 expands an existing fund to cover radio equipment replacement at state educational institutions. It amends the law to explicitly allow disbursements from the Educational Television Equipment Replacement Fund for radio stations operated by New Mexico's public schools or state universities, alongside existing television equipment. The bill does not create new funding but clarifies that current disbursement procedures - administered by the Higher Education Department and paid via state warrant - apply to radio equipment. This directly affects state colleges and public schools operating educational radio stations.
