AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Healthcare Workforce Fight: A coalition of Democratic attorneys general and governors sued the U.S. Department of Education over a new rule that narrows which degrees count as “professional,” tightening federal student loan caps for many healthcare programs—nursing, physician assistant, therapy, and more—just as states warn shortages are already hurting care. New Mexico Water Security: New Mexico launched a public dashboard tracking progress under its 50-year Water Action Plan, highlighting forest and watershed restoration aimed at drought and climate-driven water declines. Youth Outdoors Funding: The state expanded its Outdoor Equity Fund with a new Tier 2 grant level offering up to $100,000 for large-scale outdoor programs for youth statewide. Local Health Costs & Care: UNM faculty union is pushing back on a 13.1% health insurance premium hike, while Las Cruces approved a tighter budget that could mean reduced services. Nursing Home Snapshot: CMS data continues to spotlight top-sized facilities across counties, with several ranked No. 2 by bed count in Q1 2026.
