SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
This bill appropriates $77.0 from the general fund to the CHE to support campus security awareness programs - $10.0 each to the universities and $1.0 each to community colleges.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
The appropriation of $77.0 contained in this bill is a recurring expense to the general fund. Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of FY01 shall revert to the general fund.
TECHNICAL ISSUES
The CHE suggests that the bill be amended to appropriate funds directly to the state's public post-secondary institutions.
OTHER SUBSTANTIVE ISSUES
The CHE notes that funding is not provided for campus security at the New Mexico Military Institute, New Mexico School for the Deaf and New Mexico School for the Visually Handicapped.
The CHE recommends that the following language be included for all new recurring higher education programs: "A plan for a program evaluation, including specific program goals and criteria for assessing program effectiveness shall be submitted to the LFC and the CHE by October 1, 2000. An assessment of the program will be completed prior to June 30, 2001 and submitted to the LFC and the CHE."
