The New Mexico American revolution bicentennial commission, a division within the state park and recreation commission [state parks division of the energy, minerals and natural resources department], shall administer the state bicentennial grant-in-aid fund and shall process all applications for grants from the state bicentennial grant-in-aid fund. Funds from the state bicentennial grant-in-aid fund shall be made available only upon the condition that the proceeds are matched by local or other state funds on the following basis: at least fifty percent shall be local or other state funds, which may be composed of not more than twenty-five percent in-kind services, and the remainder shall be from the state bicentennial grant-in-aid fund.
State agencies or institutions and incorporated municipalities or counties sponsoring projects of unincorporated communities, including, but not limited to Indian communities, shall be entitled to receive funds from the state bicentennial grant-in-aid fund as prescribed and approved by the New Mexico American revolution bicentennial commission. Projects proposed must be in accordance with provisions of the American revolution bicentennial administration project matching grant guidelines pursuant to Section 9 (b) of P.L. 93-179 and the New Mexico American revolution bicentennial commission's "criteria statement" and the standard contract agreement between the New Mexico state park and recreation commission bicentennial division and the participant. All terminology contained within these respective documents relating to nonprofit organizations shall be disregarded, as such entities are not eligible for state financial assistance. State funds shall be made available for expenditure by the applicant state agency or institution or political subdivision once the project is approved by the New Mexico American revolution bicentennial commission and the applicant demonstrates the availability and source of funds required for its share in the total project cost.
