New Mexico Statutes Chapter 6. Public Finances § 6-1-2. State board of finance; loans and grants of emergency funds

Current as of January 01, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

If the state board of finance determines that an emergency exists that warrants such action, it may lend or grant to any state agency, board, commission, municipal corporation or other political subdivision organized under the laws of the state or any Indian nation, tribe or pueblo located in whole or in part in New Mexico that sum of money the board determines reasonable and appropriate from any funds appropriated to the board for use in meeting emergencies. As used in this section, “emergency” means an unforeseen occurrence or circumstance severely affecting the quality of government services and requiring the immediate expenditure of money that:

A. is not within the available resources of the state agency, board, commission, municipal corporation or other political subdivision or the Indian nation, tribe or pueblo located in whole or in part in New Mexico as determined by the state board of finance; and

B. if subject to appropriation, cannot reasonably await appropriation by the next regular session of the legislature.
