Lea & roosevelt weather modification

Bill Summary:

The proposed legislation, Senate Bill 589 from the 52nd Legislature of New Mexico, aims to allocate funds for a weather modification program specifically in Lea and Roosevelt counties. The bill appropriates $150,000 from the general fund for this purpose, with the allocated funds intended for use during fiscal years 2016 and 2017.

Key Provisions:

• An appropriation of $150,000 is made to the Interstate Stream Commission specifically for a weather modification program in Lea and Roosevelt counties.
• Any funds that are not spent or encumbered by the end of fiscal year 2017 will revert back to the general fund.

Status:

The latest status indicates that the bill died in chamber. This means that it did not progress through the legislative process to become law.

The bill, designated as LD 6, was initially assigned to the Senate Conservation and later to the Senate Finance committees on January 27, 2015. It received a "do pass" recommendation from the Senate Conservation committee on February 25, 2015, and was then referred to the Senate Finance committee. However, subsequent action on the bill was postponed indefinitely, indicating that it will not proceed any further in its current form. As a result, the bill has effectively failed to advance in the legislative process.
