Summary
This bill appropriates funding from the state's general fund to the Uranium Mining Reclamation Revolving Fund to support cleanup and restoration activities at former uranium mining and milling sites. The bill shows competing amendments for the funding amount - either $2 million or $75 million - to be used starting in fiscal year 2026 and continuing in subsequent years. The appropriated funds will not revert to the general fund if unused, allowing the money to accumulate over time for ongoing reclamation efforts to address environmental and public health hazards from legacy uranium mining operations in New Mexico.
