What
is
Capital
Outlay?
 Capital Outlay is funding intended for the acquisition,
improvement, alteration or reconstruction of assets for
long term use, including land, buildings, equipment,
furnishings, and vehicles.
 Capital Outlay funds cannot be used for operating
expenses, salaries, supplies, events, brochures, retroactive
reimbursements of previous payments, loan payments or
for a private non governmental entity.
 The funds are derived from severance tax bonds which are
essentially loans the state acquires with various revenues
pledged by the state to make the loan payments.
 Capital Outlay funds do not require a local match, however
the legislature will look more favorably on the project if the
local government provides fiscal support.

Capital Outlay
(continued)
 Capital Outlay grants smaller than $5000 are not
economically feasible when you consider paperwork,
personnel time and loan requirements factored into
the cost.
 Non-construction projects are granted for 2 years and
all others are for 4 years with no extension for GOB.
 It is imperative that the funds be spent within the
times set in the grant agreement due to the critical and
urgent need for the project.
 Funds are subject to project warranties and conditions
identified in the grant agreement
Febuary 2014
N.M. Const., Article IX, Section 14:
The Anti-Donation Clause
Article 9, Section 14 of the Constitution of New Mexico. The provision
that prohibits the state from making direct grants of aid to entities or
persons, despite the need or value of the project, unless the strict
requirements of the provision are satisfied.
(ie. lease agreement, operating agreement, user agreement at fair market
value determined by the local government and state agency)
The provision provides in pertinent part, "neither the state nor any
county, school district or municipality, except as otherwise provided in
this constitution, shall directly or indirectly lend or pledge its credit or
make any donation to or in aid of any person, association or public or
private corporation"
The constitution "makes no distinction as between 'donations', whether
they be for a good cause or a questionable one. It prohibits them all.

How do we ask for
Capital Outlay funds?
 The application categories are; construction, code


compliance, renovation or other improvements, meals
equipment, other equipment and vehicles.
The projects within each category are rated and given a
score.
ALTSD will provide a list of recommended projects for
funding
All projects for new construction will need to be requested
through your local legislator.
The projects are compiled on one bill and introduced by
one or two sponsors. The bill then goes through the
legislative process.

A brief overview of the Legislature
 NM Legislature consists of 112 members (70 House of


Representatives and 42 Senate)
House of Representatives serve 2 year terms and the Senate serve
4 year terms.
Capital Outlay Funds are divided in thirds after reserving for
Senior Severance Tax Bonds (TIF, WTB, CIF) and rainy day fund
(1/3 House of Representatives 1/3 Senate 1/3 Executive)
Primary function is to represent the citizens who elect them and
to help solve numerous issues throughout the state.
The Legislature convenes in regular sessions in Santa Fe at noon
on the third Tuesday in January each year. In odd-numbered
years the legislature meets for 60 days and in even-numbered

Structure of Government
Febuary 2014
Bills and Memorials
The main tools used to pass law or actions are bills and memorials.
The Legislature considers proposals from simple 1 paragraph bills to
over 100-page bills.
There are 3 basic types of measures:
•Bills: Form used to propose laws.
(Requires Governor’s action or signature)
•Memorials: Petition or declaration of intent addressed to another
governmental body.
(Does NOT require Governor’s action to become effective)
•Resolutions: Formal declaration on a subject the legislature cannot or
doesn’t want to control with legislation.
(Does NOT require Governor’s action to become effective)
Febuary 2014
Bill passage
 Bill introduction – bill is assigned a #, read twice, printed, and referred to the
proper committee through either the House or Senate (deadline February 5, 2014)
 Committee review – bill is reviewed by 1 or more committees in the House or
Senate. The committee can approve the bill, amend it, forward it to the next
committee with no recommendations or kill the bill by tabling it
 Final vote – If the bill passes it will move to either the House or Senate and
repeats the entire process and either singed or vetoed.
 Enrolling and Engrossing – – bills that pass both House and Senate require
the Speaker of the House and President Pro Tempore of the Senate signature
then it is sent to the Governor for action.
 Governors desk - The Governor can sign the bill making it law, veto it, lineitem veto if it contains an appropriation. Bills not signed within 3 days
becomes law if the legislature is still in session (Session ends February 20, 2014) .

legislature adjourns (May 21, 2014). The legislature can also indicate an emergency
