2006 New Mexico Statutes - Section 7-2-29 — Finding.

7-2-29. Finding.

The legislature finds that it is in the public interest to provide additional funds to ensure that substance abuse educational programs are provided in New Mexico schools. This act provides a means by which additional substance abuse education funds may be provided from a voluntary check-off designation of tax refunds due the taxpayer on the state income tax form. It is the intent of the legislature that this program of income tax refund check-off is supplemental to any other funding and is in no way intended to take the place of the funding that would otherwise be appropriated for this purpose.
