All sections of this form are required if your organization intends to pursue junior bill funding from the 2024 New Mexico State Legislature involving the City of Albuquerque (City) as the fiscal agent.
Please note: The New Mexico Constitution “anti-donation” clause (Article IX, Section 14) prohibits governments from donating to private parties. Read this legislation here.
Critical Information
Even if the bill passes permitting your Organization to receive Junior Appropriation funding, those funds WILL NOT be released until DFA ensures the project meets State Law.
City Fiscal Agent approval DOES NOT mean that the project is guaranteed, or even necessarily likely, to clear DFA. It is ONLY permission to utilize the City to request such funds. Likewise, being permitted State funding through passage of the funding bill does not obligate the City or its Departments to form a Use Agreement/Contract with your Organization to meet DFA requirements in any way.
Your project MUST follow the purchasing rules, including Vendor choice, of the Department with which you have, or are seeking, a Use Agreement/Contract. Each Department has their own Purchasing rules! For more information, speak with your Department Contact.
Using Junior Appropriation funds for anything outside of the language in the final bill, as signed by the Governor, is a violation of State Law. Note that the scope language of your project MAY change between your entry online and the final bill with neither your approval nor notification.
Your Organization is responsible for understanding the scope the funds may be utilized for, as well as determining and fulfilling all DFA requirements for approval.
