TRUNKED RADIO SUBSCRIBER FEES

SB 254 appropriates $2.8 million from the general fund to the New Mexico Department of Information Technology for fiscal year 2027 and beyond. The funds cover subscriber fees for municipal, county, and tribal public safety agencies (including those providing law enforcement, fire, medical, and emergency services) using the state's digital trunked radio communications system. Unspent funds will not revert to the general fund, ensuring ongoing support for these agencies' critical communication needs.
