thousand for developmentally disabled provider rate increases, $250 thousand for Medicaid,
$400 thousand for the Los Lunas Substance Treatment Center, $450 thousand soil and water
conservation districts, $250 thousand for nurse advice hotline and other items.

affordability act and increases for faculty endowments, supplemental funding for school bus fuel,
$300 thousand for vehicles for social workers at CYFD and other items.
