The legislature finds that it is in the public interest to provide additional funds to ensure that substance abuse educational programs are provided in New Mexico schools.

It is the intent of the legislature that this program of income tax refund check-off is supplemental to any other funding and is in no way intended to take the place of the funding that would otherwise be appropriated for this purpose.
