SUMMARY

Synopsis of Bill

House Bill 1034 appropriates $100.0 for the New Mexico youth day statewide talent search for

the New Mexico youth day concert in Bernalillo County.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS

The appropriation of $100.0 contained in this bill is a recurring expense to the General Fund.

Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of FY08 shall revert to the Gen-

eral Fund.

SIGNIFICANT ISSUES

HB 1034 will provide $100.0 to help finance costs associated with finding students around the

state to participate in the New Mexico Youth Day concert, performed during the New Mexico

Youth Day Holiday on Saturday, August 4, 2007 at the Los Vecinos Community Center in Ti-

jeras. Prime Time for Kids is a 501(c) (3) community-based program that reaches out to at-risk

children. The target population is middle and high school students. The goals of Prime Time are

to keep children active when they are not is school and to keep children in school. To participate

in Prime Time activities, a child must either be in school or actively pursuing a GED.

Prime Time for Kids will be going to several cities around New Mexico holding auditions for the

talent show during the Youth Day event. The funding in HB 1034 will help cover the costs of

the statewide talent search. Each year during the Youth Day Holiday event, a free concert is pro-

vided using youth from around the state.

The Youth Day will bring in over 3,000 students from around the state. In addition to the free

concert, there will be a youth rodeo, basketball games, a car show, a spelling bee, and a skate-

board competition among many other activities.

CONFLICT, DUPLICATION, COMPANIONSHIP, RELATIONSHIP

Duplicates SB 977. Relates to HB 885, HB 363, SB 626, SB 786.

TECHNICAL ISSUES

DFA suggests that language should be changed to declare an emergency (as SB 977 does) so that

Prime Time will be able to draw down the funding before June 2007. Traveling around the state

for youth auditions and the costs associated with that will occur before this funding, as the bill is

now written, would become available.
