 DoIT and OCS have six areas of potential collaboration with NPTs in NM. 

Interoperable Public Safety Radio Communications 

The State’s public safety radio communication network provides interoperable radio communications among state, local, tribal and federal agencies. Subscribers gain access to a suite of systems and services including the NM Digital Trunked Radio System (DTRS) as well as local base, remote base, multi-channel console, mobile radio, and portable radio. Currently four pueblos in NM are on the DTRS, and three are exploring opportunities to use the system and share infrastructure. 

Cybersecurity Response 

The OCS offers cyber incident response and mitigation services for any tribal entity through both contracted and in-agency resources.   These services are currently funded entirely by state dollars.  To date, no tribal entity has requested OCS incident response services.  OCS does not have data on whether that is a consequence of lack of incidents or availability of other mitigation/response resources being available to tribal entities.   

Cyber Risk Management and Awareness Services 

The OCS offers cyber risk management services, including general threat intelligence, attack surface management, and cyber risk awareness training, to tribal entities through the federally funded State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP).  All NPT’s in NM are eligible for these services.  OCS will open the year three application period in FY26.  SLCGP funds are not immediately at risk from the OBBBA; however, SLCGP funding rounds end in two years and the OBBBA did not include any replacement funding for these essential services.   Currently two pueblos in NM are taking advantage of state and federally sponsored grants funding these services.   

Cyber Risk Intelligence 

Tribal entities previously received federally funded cyber-risk intelligence services through the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISCAC) at no cost to the entity.  Federal funding for these services was terminated recently by executive action and funding was not Congressionally extended in the OBBBA.    MS-ISCAC has informed customers that it is transitioning to a pay-for-service model.  Thus, OCS expects those tribal entities that no longer have federal support from MS-ISCAC may seek OCS managed services.     

Cybersecurity Planning 

The OCS supports the Cybersecurity Advisory Committee and the Cybersecurity Planning Committee, which develop cyber security policy and approve SLCGP projects for all public sector entities, including tribal.  Tribal representatives participate on both committees and advocate for tribal communities.  OCS support for these committees is not federally funded and not at risk from the OBBBA.   

Geospatial Information Systems and Data Coordination 

DoIT hosts the Geospatial Advisory Committee (GAC) as a forum for state, local, tribal, federal, and private entities to coordinate and advise on geospatial information and technologies.  Most of NM’s NPT’s have at least one professional working with geographic information systems, and these often rely on data, mapping tools, and/or licensing provided by federal agencies such as the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and Indian Health Services (IHS).  The GAC Tribal Subcommittee mailing list includes 76 geospatial specialists, most representing tribal entities.  One member is the Regional Geospatial Coordinator for the BIA, representing NM. 

Resource Implications of the OBBBA  

For OCS, current appropriations will not be impacted by the OBBBA.  However, the lack of future federal funding in the OBBBA will necessitate state funding, subject to budget priorities.  Absent make-up funding, OCS will need to limit or terminate essential cyber services in FY27 and beyond.   

Federal funding for MS-ISCAC services was terminated recently by executive action and funding was not Congressionally extended in the OBBBA. MS-ISCAC has informed customers that it is transitioning to a pay-for-service model.  OCS does not know the extent of the impact to NPT’s but more local attention and investment will be required to maintain cyber risk intelligence. 

After expiration of the current SLCGP funding, any continued or expanded OCS services for tribal entities would need to be generally funded. 

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has experienced significant shrinkage in its cyber threat detection, analysis and notification capabilities under the current administration.  Local CISA representatives and other CISA supported cyber-services remain available.     

The Cybersecurity Advisory and Planning Committees have not evaluated the impact of OBBBA on target priorities of the Cybersecurity posture for NM.  Funding constraints are a significant cyber risk factor that will require the Advisory Committee to adjust cyber directives downward to account for funding scarcity.   

The Geospatial Advisory Committee has not yet taken up the topic of OBBBA’s potential impact on NPT’s.  This has been added as a priority to ask at the next meeting.  At a Tribal GIS conference in April 2025, the impacts from federal changes were not yet well understood.  Because of the fiduciary responsibilities of the BIA to NPT’s, the hope was that impacts would be minimal, but that if there were any, the GIS programs might be one of the first to be minimized or cut.  If the BIA discontinues their licensing program for NPTs, the NM911 Program (Dept of Finance and Administration, Local Government Division) is one possible source of licensing to ensure the tribal GIS functions related to emergency response could continue. 

 Supplemental Information   

There is a national non-profit, the National Tribal Geographic Information Support Center (https://tribalgis.com) which can be a resource for tribal GIS professionals needing a broader, non-federal community of support. 

The state Geospatial Information Officer has solicited input from other states and tribal representatives (via the National States Geographic Information Council -NSGIC – and the National Tribal Geographic Information Support Center – NTGISC) on potential impacts of changes in federal government programs and will continue to report findings back to the IAD as information is gathered.

The Fiscal Year 2025 Budget Reconciliation Act did not have any major impacts on workforce funding or programming to the Department of Workforce Solutions or to Nations,Pueblos and Tribes (NPTs).

NPTs receive their funding directly from the US Department of Labor. The larger concerns for funding are in the Fiscal Year 2025 budget, which is still working its way through Congress.

See below for possible impacts on Nations, Pueblos and Tribes.

“MASA” and the 2026 Federal Budget

The current version of the US Department of Labor’s Fiscal Year 2026 federal budget replaces the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) with “Make America Skilled Again” (MASA). MASA combines 11 WIOA programs, including $60 million for “Indian and Native American Programs,” and cuts the combined funding by 29%. MASA replaces these programs with grants to the states “to provide financial assistance to States, territories, and Tribes to support a wide range of workforce development, training, and related activities in an effort to help States and local communities respond to their workforce needs and support their economic development goals. Grants will have a minimum 10 percent expenditure on registered apprenticeship activities.” DWS is working with the federal congressional delegation and the National Association of State Workforce Agencies to oppose the cuts and changes.

Federal Layoffs

New Mexico has seen federal layoffs from a wide range of agencies, resulting in 344 unemployment claims since February 1, 2025. Based solely on claims data, the Department of Interior has had the most terminations, resulting in 112 unemployment claims, of which 64 are from former employees of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. DWS has a variety of resources for federal workers, available at www.workfornm.com.

AmeriCorps

The US Department of Labor terminated the grant agreements for approximately two-thirds of the AmeriCorps State Programs. Terminations included grants for the Ancestral Lands Conservation Corps and the NACA-Inspired Schools Network. The proposed FY26 federal budget includes the elimination of the Corporation for National and Community Service, which operates AmeriCorps, along with a proposed $1.26 billion funding cut. DWS is working closely with all programs to identify alternative funding and to strategize for the future.

Navigator Program

The US Department of Labor terminated the DWS grant agreement for the Connect You navigator program, which provides training on and connection to unemployment and employment services. DWS held the first of a series of sessions for tribes, pueblos and nations on April 15th. DWS is identifying funding to ensure continuation of the Connect Your program, despite the funding cut.

Current Tribal Allocations: 

Fund: NM PreK- State Funded 

Total PreK funds awarded for FY26: $4,103,610.00 

Purpose: The New Mexico Early Childhood Education and Care Department (ECECD) administers the New Mexico Prekindergarten (NM PreK) program, a high-quality program that is available to all families residing in New Mexico with eligible 3- and 4-year-old children regardless of income. The NM PreK program provides voluntary, quality PreK to support children’s development and school readiness. PreK program funding is awarded to eligible providers, including tribal, licensed child care centers, licensed child care homes, Head Start, school districts, and/or charter schools through this competitive grant opportunity. ECECD monitors the eligible providers granted awards for compliance with the NM PreK Standards. Pursuant to NMSA 1978, § 9-29-8(B), ECECD is mandated to “coordinate and align an early childhood education and care system to: 

• Include child care, pre-kindergarten, early pre-kindergarten, home visitation, Early Head Start, Head Start, early childhood special education and early intervention and family support; and 

• Provide New Mexico families with consistent access to appropriate care and education services.” The NM PreK program is a key part of the state’s early childhood education and care system, providing high quality, voluntary PreK experiences to preschool-aged children regardless of income. ECECD is seeking applications from certain eligible providers (set forth above) to renew, expand, or create new PreK slots and classrooms statewide, especially in designated areas of the state where there is a lack of high-quality PreK for children and families. 

ECECD awards PreK Grants for up to four years contingent upon available funding and the grantees continued compliance with the NM PreK standards. If an eligible applicant applies for and is awarded an expansion grant, its existing award will be amended, and the expansion will have the same terms as the eligible applicant’s existing award. NM PreK is currently funding 479 tribal slots. Below is the breakdown of the funded slots for Tribal programs including the program, number of slots, program option and total amount of funding they have been awarded. 

Opportunities for dual slots use (e.g., Head Start vs. NM Pre-K per-child rate differentials): 

Tribal programs are eligible to apply for NM PreK to provide NM PreK and receive the full rate per slot based on the program option selected or can apply as part of their Head Start.

SNAP – Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program

The OBBBA impacts which specifically affect Native American SNAP participants would be the inclusion of a new exemption for Able-Bodied Adult Work Requirements within Section 10102: 

• A new exemption for individuals who are: 
  • Indians 
  • Urban Indians  
    • Both Indians and Urban Indians are defined in paragraphs 13 and 28 of Section 4 of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act 
  • California Indians 
    • Defined in Section 809(a) of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act 
  • Other Indians who are eligible for Indian Health Services.  

Overall, the new exemption would allow Native American SNAP participants who are Able-Bodied Adults to be determined as being exempt from the Able-Bodied Adult Work Requirements. We are still awaiting FNS guidance of when this exemption will be implemented.  

We asked the Economist/Supervisor from HCA/ISD for some data on SNAP/LIHEAP/TANF and here is what he sent us: 

The estimates of the number of recipients of SNAP, LIHEAP and TANF are computed based on June-2025 HCA data and May-2025 MSR.

Anticipated impacts of the H.R. 1 OBBA on the New Mexico Corrections Department:

Approximately 11% of the 5,869 persons currently in the custody of the NMCD and incarcerated in its facilities are Native American.

The NMCD does not anticipate any impact from this bill to staffing, or the regular operations of facilities and offices throughout the state of New Mexico, that would affect inmates, including the Native American population.

Federal grants have been awarded to the New Mexico Corrections Department for educational purposes. These educational programs are for all inmates who meet the criterion, which includes Native Americans who participate. Decisions by the U.S. Department of Education may affect one of these grants.

• $78, 496.65 has already been awarded in 2025-2026 for Title 1, Part D, Sub Part 1. This is applicable to students under age 21 for Prevention and Intervention Programs for Children and Youth Who Are Neglected, Delinquent, or At-Risk.
• $18,798.00 has already been awarded in 2025-2026 for IDEA (The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act), which provides help for students under age 22 with Special Education Services.
• The NMCD has been awarded an AEFLA (Adult Education Family Literacy Act) grant beginning July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2029. $504,469.84 has been allocated for 2025-2026. These funds are for students participating in Adult Education, not including post-secondary, college, or university studies. This grant is currently on hold per the U.S. Department of Education.

The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) does not anticipate any immediate implications from this bill to staffing or operations of district and general facilities or patrol offices, across the state of New Mexico, that would affect Nations, Pueblos and Tribes (NPTs).  

NMDOT receives multiple Federal grants secured through the $1.2 trillion, 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). These funds are not affected by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) and have been continually administered by the department to eligible local entities, including NPTs. The following are federal programs administered through NMDOT, via BIL: 

• Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) 
• Transportation Alternatives Programs (TAP) 
• Recreational Trails Program (RTP) 
• Congestion Mitigation & Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ) 
• Carbon Reduction Program (CRP) 

The Department continues to maintain dialogue with NPTs to provide resources, technical assistance and support with their tribal transportation goals and projects. NMDOT actively engages with our tribal communities throughout the year in preparation for the legislative session, to include conversations surrounding reauthorization of capital outlay funding, allowing for more tribal entities to be successful with their projects.  

In partnership with the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), Southwest Region, it is acknowledged through the Department of Interior that federal layoffs have negatively impacted our regional office staffing, resulting in an extended turnaround time for project reviews and correspondence. NMDOT will continue engaging with BIA staff to ensure transparency is maintained with the state’s tribal transportation programs and initiatives.

Native American Veteran Population in New Mexico Data, 2024.  

DVS Assessment Conducted: The evaluation identified potential impacts to both direct and indirect federally funded activities. The assessment highlights areas of concern that may affect program implementation, service delivery, and resource accessibility for Native American veterans across tribal communities.

Federal Veterans Healthcare: Current and proposed reductions in Veterans Health Administration (VHA) personnel present a potential risk to timely healthcare delivery for Native American Veterans in New Mexico. The full extent of these workforce impacts is currently under assessment, and the potential disruption to services remains uncertain.

Federal Transportation Grants: Potential changes to federal transportation grant programs may significantly affect funding availability, posing a serious risk to healthcare access for Native American veterans residing in rural areas across Nations, Pueblos, and Tribes. Reliable transportation is a critical link to care, especially for rural and tribal communities

Federally funded Veteran Business Outreach Centers (VBOC): Potential cuts to VBOC and the associated Native American veteran initiatives—such as Boots to Business on Native Grounds and the Entrepreneurial Bootcamp for Native American Veterans—may significantly diminish support for Native American veteran entrepreneurs. These reductions could hinder access to training, mentorship, and resources vital for launching and growing veteran-owned businesses in tribal communities.

DVS Assessment Conducted: The evaluation revealed key implications for Native American veterans, highlighting areas of potential impact related to healthcare access, economic support, and federal service delivery. Findings underscore the importance of culturally responsive solutions and targeted policy engagement to address emerging challenges. 

Health & Social Services: Elderly and low-income Native American veterans may face reduced support due to proposed cost-cutting measures affecting Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Medicaid programs. 

Agriculture & Sustainability: Potential changes to federal agricultural policy may negatively impact farming practices and resources vital to tribal communities. 

Education Access & Affordability: 

• Increased GI Bill Reliance: As federal loan options become more restrictive, veterans may increasingly depend on GI Bill benefits to finance their education. 

• Federally funded programs such as Upward Bound and campus-based support services may face budget reductions or elimination, threatening access to educational advancement.

Veteran Workforce Development: Proposed changes may affect federally supported initiatives aimed at equipping Native American veterans with specialized education and employment resources.  

• New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions (NMDWS) programs may play a vital role in bridging the gap left by reductions in federal funding. By expanding access to employment training, job placement services, and educational resources, NMDWS initiatives can help sustain workforce development efforts—particularly in underserved and tribal communities. 

Energy Policy Shifts: Revival of domestic oil, gas, and coal development may lead to environmental and cultural impacts on tribal lands; further analysis is needed to understand the implications specific to the region. 

Clean Energy Investment Rollbacks: Reversing IRA-funded clean-energy initiatives may limit renewable energy development opportunities, climate resilience efforts, and green infrastructure investments within Native Nations, Pueblos, and Tribes. (Broadband internet infrastructure project)  

LGBTQIA+ Health Services: Medicaid restrictions may reduce access to gender-affirming care for Two-Spirit individuals and veterans within tribal communities seeking these services.  

• VA Healthcare Services: Proposed changes in current federal legislation eliminate access to gender-affirming medical treatment for transgender veterans within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare system. This includes surgical procedures and related services. Native American transgender veterans—particularly those living in tribal and rural areas—may be disproportionately affected due to existing healthcare access barriers and limited local alternatives, compounding the impact on continuity of care and equitable treatment.

PINON Grant: Promoting Internet Needs of New Mexicans

Last year, Congress failed to extend the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which offered 23 million eligible households a $30-per-month voucher to help pay for internet service and up to $70 on Tribal lands. This previous action increased the strain on low-income households in Indian Country where families are now forced to choose between paying for internet and other household necessities. In its multiple changes to SNAP, OBBBA completely removes internet service costs as an eligible deduction. Now that OBBBA is law, the essential cost of an internet connection cannot factor into a household’s eligibility for SNAP benefits.

Although it is not a result of the OBBBA, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) has cancelled all $5 Billion in funding for the Digital Equity Act under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021. NTIA allocated $8.6M to OBAE to award eligible entities who want to be a part of an initiative that bridges the digital divide. The PINON Grant had planned to offer monetary awards ranging from $25,000 – $50,000 to support subgrantees in enhancing their digital opportunity programs tailored for populations that are particularly vulnerable to digital exclusion.

• (Federal Action) On 5/9/25, OBAE received an official letter from the United States Department of Commerce and the National Institute of Standards and Technology informing us that they were ceasing the funding for the State Digital Equity Planning and Capacity Grant. This directly impacts the $8.6M PINON grant that OBAE administers.
• (NM Response) OBAE is working with the Governor’s Office and the Attorney General’s Office to determine how to proceed. Currently, OBAE does not anticipate that the State will undertake litigation against NTIA in this matter.
• (Impact to NM Tribes) Of the 39 grant applications received, 14 included planned activities/collaborations with Nations, Pueblos and Tribes, though their applications did not include letters of Tribal consent.
  • OBAE’s plan was to discover if those applications had Tribal consent during the curing process. However, we were in the middle of determining the eligibility of the applications received and performing the initial score process when we received official notice from the United States Department of Commerce and the National Institute of Standards and Technology informing us that they were ceasing the funding for the State Digital Equity Planning and Capacity Grant.
  • Three tribal entities directly submitted applications, two being on behalf of Navajo Nation:
    • Navajo Nation: $287,370 (Alliance for Navajo Broadband)
      • $209,014 (Ke’Yah Advanced Rural Manufacturing Alliance)
    • San Ildefonso Pueblo: $499,892.14 (San Ildefonso Services)

(OBAE Message/Tracking) The Digital Equity Federal Program Officer has discontinued regular communication with our PINON Program Coordinator. If/when there are any updates, OBAE will keep the leadership informed if further federal action/communication is received.
