SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
House Bill 151 appropriates $55 thousand from the general fund to the Local Government Divi-

plan for Taos County.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
The appropriation of $55 thousand contained in this bill is a non-recurring expense to the general
fund. Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of FY07 would revert to
the general fund.
