Governor signs bill to create state's first-ever dedicated source of recurring funding for conservation
Statement
Issues: Animals and Wildlife
Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on Thursday signed Senate Bill 9 to establish the state's first-ever dedicated source of recurring funding for conservation efforts.
The Land of Enchantment Legacy Fund is sponsored by Majority Floor Leader Sen. Peter Wirth, Sen. Steven P. Neville, and Rep. Nathan Small.
"There are few states that value the land and water like we do here in New Mexico," said Gov. Lujan Grisham. "After years of hard work by a broad coalition of legislators, state agencies, community organizations and non-governmental organizations, I'm proud that we are prioritizing funding for conservation efforts now more than ever before."
