 Senate Bill 263 (SB 263) appropriates five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) from the General Fund (GF) to New Mexico State University (NMSU) for expenditure in Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 and subsequent FYs to hire a sports nutritionist to consult with the New Mexico State University women's sports teams.

Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of a FY will not revert to the GF.
 

 In 2017, NMSU hired a nutritionist, Dr Raquel Garzon, who was initially approached by NMSU head athletic trainer and assistant athletics director Mike O’Larey about working with female athletes on health and body image. However, the conversation soon turned into how to get all athletes in their best shape. NMSU’s webpage shows a sports dietitian on staff.
