New Mexico Municipal League

LEGISLATIVE BULLETIN

VOL. 2019-4 FEBRUARY 1, 2019

TAX BILLS IN – TAX BILL TABLED

House Bill 6, the House version of tax reform was heard in Committee for two days. The issues in House

Bill 6 sparked a lot of interest. As expected there was testimony from a number of groups expressing concern

about the impacts on their industries. The League testified in support of the provisions of taxing Internet sales,

adding local compensating rates, as well as increasing funding for roads. We also testified about the tremendous

impact on local budgets by taking away the Hold Harmless payments from municipalities. The loss of $100 million

dollars would have major impacts on municipal services. After the initial hearings HB 6 was tabled for further

work. Meetings continue with various stakeholders and staff to refine House Bill 6. More to come on that later.

Meanwhile the Senate version of tax reform was introduced, Senate Bill 421, sponsored by Senator Carlos

Cisneros, Vice Chair of Senate Finance. The bill has been referred to Senate Corporations (SCORC) and Senate

Finance Committee (SFC). SB 421 is similar to House Bill 6 with one major difference. The Senate version adds

“food” into the GRT tax base. SB 421 does take away Municipal and County Hold Harmless distributions for

larger cities and counties, cities over 10,000 population and counties over 48,000. That funding is replaced by the

tax going back on food. Senate Bill 421 does give local governments the tax on Internet sales and adds a local

compensating tax as well. Both of those are really fairness issues for competition with our brick and mortar

businesses, who have been at a major tax disadvantage.

LEAGUE OFFICE PARKING DURING THE SESSION

Because of the demand for parking around the Capitol during the session, we must protect the availability of parking

for our municipal officials and staff. In order to reduce the possibility of accidents, a few areas in our lots are designated

by signs as “NO PARKING” AREAS.” If you are visiting the session and need to park in the League lots, please help

us by observing the following rules:

1. Do not park in the areas designated as “NO PARKING” zones.

2. Obtain a League Parking Permit from the reception desk and leave it on the rear-view mirror of your car so

that it’s easily visible. 3. DOUBLE PARKING OR PARKING BEHIND ANOTHER CAR IS NO LONGER PERMITTED IN OUR

LOTS.

YOUR LEGISLATIVE BULLETIN

This is the first in the series of weekly League Legislative Bulletins designed to communicate with municipal officials,

legislators and the Executive Branch of state government.

This year the League will publish the Bulletin electronically and will not distribute a printed copy. We will post the

Bulletin on Friday mornings on the League’s website under the listing of “Publications.” We will then e-mail a link to the

document to our membership through our list serve that we use to distribute The Municipal Reporter.

Municipal officials who receive the Bulletin include all mayors, commissioners, councilors, trustees, managers, clerks,

municipal judges, police chiefs and many other municipal officials.

The Legislative Bulletin contains:

a brief review of all bills of municipal interest of which we have received a copy since the prior Bulletin (it will save

you and us time if you make a note of the House or Senate Bill number you are interested in);

a brief analysis of key legislative developments of the past week;

detailed explanations of key municipal bills; and, perhaps,

an Action Call if any important municipal bill is scheduled to be heard in committee or on the floor of either house

Your legislator can be reached by name through the Legislative Switchboard: (505) 986-4300 in Santa Fe. For those

of you on line, the Legislature's web site also contains the e-mail addresses of those legislators who use the service. That

address is: http://www.nmlegis.gov. Also check the League’s web site (www.nmml.org) for League information.

CAPITAL PROJECT FUNDING BILLS

Capital outlay project requests in recent years have not been introduced as legislative bills, but submitted as “capital outlay

requests.” All approved requests are then included in a major capital outlay bill for final passage.

In past years we have reported these requests as we received the printed copies. The legislature will track all capital

outlay requests electronically only. Therefore, we are no longer able to report the requests for you as we had in the past.

However, the good news is that all requests will be listed on the legislative web site at nmlegis.gov (click on Capital Outlay).

Each request is listed under the appropriate county and then alphabetically by title and includes the description of the request

along with the dollar amount. Legislative Council Service will be updating the information every Tuesday and Friday

evenings so the new introductions will be available for you early on Wednesdays and Saturdays. As always, you can contact

your legislators directly to find out when your project will be scheduled for hearing.

BIOGRAPHY OF A BILL

A bill is introduced by a sponsoring legislator on the floor of either house, numbered by the clerk and referred for

consideration to one or more committees of that house. The deadline for introduction of all bills except appropriations bills

or bills requested by the Governor (special messages) is Noon on the 15th day of a 30-day session (January 31).

Committee recommendations usually determine the success or failure of a bill. A bill may be amended in committee or on

the floor at any point in the process — sometimes changed so severely that its own author would not recognize it — or a

substitute measure with the same number and general subject matter may be put in its place.

If you are interested in a particular bill, do not be dismayed if it seems to sit for a long time in committee, particularly

in a tax, finance or appropriations committee. Bills which ask for money or for taxing authority often lie dormant until the

last few days of a session and then move with unbelievable speed.

If a bill passes successfully through its committee referrals, it returns to the floor of the house in which it was introduced

for floor consideration. If it passes that house, it goes to the other house. However, it may also be tabled, referred again or

defeated.

In the second house the bill is again considered in one or several committees and it may again be amended or substituted.

If it gets through its committee assignments, it returns to the floor of that house for consideration and may from there be

referred, tabled, passed or defeated.

If the bill passes the second house and it has been amended or substituted by the second house, the originating house

must concur or fail to concur with the changes. If the originating house fails to concur, a conference committee representing

both houses is appointed to decide what to present to both houses for acceptance.

A bill that has been passed in some agreed-upon form by both the House and the Senate goes to the Governor for

signature. The Governor may choose to sign or to veto the bill. If the bill contains an appropriation, the Governor may veto

portions if she wishes (line item veto); if it does not, she may only veto the entire bill. If vetoed, 2/3 of the House and 2/3

of the Senate must vote in favor of the bill in order to override the veto. If the veto override fails, the bill is dead.

Most bills do not reach the Governor's desk before the Legislature adjourns (Noon, March 16). The Governor has 20

days following the close of the session (Noon, April 5) to sign, veto or fail to sign (pocket veto) any bill that he did not act

on during the session. Any bill is much more likely to have died in committee or on the floor before even reaching the

Governor's desk.

In New Mexico, no more than 1/4 to 1/3 of bills introduced ever make it all the way to enactment. The historic trend

in New Mexico is for more and more introductions each succeeding session.
