SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
Senate Bill 522, Making an Appropriation for a Talent Search for Youth Day; Declaring an
Emergency, makes an appropriation for $100.0 thousand to conduct a talent search for the New
Mexico Youth Day concert in FY08 and 09 and declares an emergency. The appropriation will
be from the General Fund to the Local Government Division of the Department of Finance and
Administration. Any unencumbered balance will revert to the General Fund at the end of FY09.
In 2007 legislation was enacted to create New Mexico Youth Day on the first Saturday in August
of each year. The New Mexico Youth Holiday will be in Bernalillo County.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
The appropriation of $100.0 thousand contained in this bill is a recurring expense to the general
fund. Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of FY09 shall revert to the
general fund.

SIGNIFICANT ISSUES
DFA notes that New Mexico Youth Day holiday talent search will need to be initiated and
executed by an organization that is set up to accomplish related activities including the concert-
related talent search. This can be done by the Local Government Division working with
Bernalillo County as the fiscal agent. Bernalillo County will issue the appropriate request for
proposals and execute the contract.
