 House Bill 90 (HB 90) appropriates one million five hundred thousand dollars ($1,500,000) for capital improvements at the Epi Duran Regional Crisis and Treatment Center operated by San Miguel County. 

 House Bill 90 (HB 90) appropriates one million five hundred thousand dollars ($1,500,000) from the General Fund (GF) to Local Government Division (LGD) of the Department of Finance and Administration (DFA) for expenditure in Fiscal Years (FY) 2024 and 2025 to complete capital improvements, including renovation and repair, and equipment and furnishings, at the Epi Duran Regional Crisis and Treatment Center operated by San Miguel County.

Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of FY 2025 reverts to the GF. 

 In 2021, the San Miguel County Commission chose the $4.5 million renovation of a building for an in-patient drug treatment center as its top priority for capital improvements for that year. The board leased the Epi Duran building, the former home of the General Services Department, for $1 a year. The county is responsible for all utility and maintenance costs.  Appropriations have been sought in other years. This treatment center serves northeastern New Mexico. 

  HB 90 duplicates SB 227203 and relates to SB 227183.
