Summary:
 House Bill 38 (HB 38) creates a task force to study the feasibility of creating an African American affairs department and makes an appropriation.
Legislation Overview:
 House Bill 38 (HB 38) establishes an "African American affairs department study task force", charged with studying the feasibility of creating an African American affairs department. One hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) is appropriated from the general fund to the health care authority department to support the task force.
Current Law: 
 New Mexico does not currently have an African American affairs department nor any existing task force to study the feasibility of one. If the bill does not pass, this would remain the status quo.
