SUMMARY



Synopsis of Bill



House Bill 6 appropriates $13,958.4 from other state funds to the State Fair Commission for the purpose of agency operations for FY02. This bill establishes the FY02 LFC recommendation for the New Mexico State Fair. The Fair's operating budget is established through revenues the Fair derives from admission fees (including parking), concessions, horse racing, carnival, facilities rentals, merchandise sales, gaming and other events.



PERFORMANCE IMPLICATIONS



The New Mexico State Fair will transition to performance-based budgeting in FY03.



FISCAL IMPLICATIONS



The appropriation of $13,958.4 contained in this bill is a recurring expense to the New Mexico State Fair fund. The Fair is an enterprise agency and any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of FY02 do not revert to the general fund but require appropriation by the Legislature each fiscal year.



DUPLICATION/RELATIONSHIP



This bill relates to the appropriation in The General Appropriation Act, House Bill 2, that includes the appropriation contained in House Bill 6 for the State Fair.



TECHNICAL ISSUES



page 2, line 3 "2001" should read "2002". The appropriation is for FY02.
