The committee recommendation for recurring appropriations from the general fund is a little more than requested at $7.36 billion, up $298.4 million, or 4 percent, from FY21 spending levels. While revenues in FY21 are expected to decline from the current year, and revenues for the current year are down from the prior year, the state is in a better position than initially anticipated, with good financial planning by the Legislature and federal stimulus support to businesses and the unemployed partially offsetting the effects of a pandemic-induced gutting of the economy and a crash in oil prices and production.

  • 2019 NMC Legislative Summary
    2019 Final Legislative Report 54TH LEGISLATURE FIRST SESSION Session Summary Another New Mexico Legislative session has come and gone and is now in the record books (thankfully). Like all sessions, the 2019 one was unique, interesting, entertaining, frustrating and, sometimes, rewarding. Let’s take a quick look at what happened: All of the New Mexico House of Representatives were up for election in November, and New Mexico had its version of the national “blue wave.” There are now 46 Democrats and 24 Republicans in the House, the largest Democratic majority since 1994 (53-17). State Senators are not up for election until next year, so that body stays at 26 Democrats and 16 Republicans. New Mexico also elected a new Governor, Michelle Lujan-Grisham, who is a former Bernalillo County Commissioner, U.S. Congresswoman and long-time cabinet secretary for Governors Bruce King, Gary Johnson, and Bill Richardson. In the 2019 Legislative session, the House introduced 695 bills, 16 joint memorials, 11 joint resolutions, and 94 memorials. The Senate introduced 675 bills, 20 joint memorials, 19 joint resolutions, and 131 memorials. We, along with many legislators, expected a much larger number of bills. In all, the Legislature passed 309 bills and the Governor signed 281, vetoed 15, and pocket vetoed 13. In the tax arena, the counties were finally able to “de-earmark” many of our gross receipts tax silos, a major accomplishment. A big thanks to Representative Jason Harper, Legislative Council Service drafter Pam Stokes, and former New Mexico Counties (NMC) financial whiz Santiago Chavez for wrapping this up for us.

    Started Trip On: ___________________ Completed Trip On: ________________ This passport belongs to: ____________________________________________________________________________________ Photos and facts from: https://www.cntraveler.com/galleries/2013-07-05/photos-celebrate-nation-50-state- capitol-buildings Maine State House, Augusta, ME 04330 Year completed**: 1832 Architectural style: Greek Revival FYI: The portico and front and rear walls are all that remain of the original, 1832 structure (designed by architect Charles Bullfinch). A major remodel in 1909–1910 enlarged the wings of the building and replaced the building’s original dome with a more elongated one. New Hampshire State House, 107 North Main Street, Concord, NH 03303 Year completed**: 1819 Architectural style: Greek Revival FYI: The stately eagle installed on top of the New Hampshire State House’s dome may look gold, but it’s actually brass. The original was removed for preservation and is on display at the New Hampshire Historical Society. A new, gold-leafed eagle was put in its place around 1969. Vermont State House, 115 State Street, Montpelier, VT 05633 Year completed**: 1859 Architectural style: Renaissance Revival FYI: The senate chamber still has its original furnishings, plus working gas lamps, and a “gasolier”—a gaslight chandelier that was rediscovered elsewhere in 1979, refurbished, and reinstalled in the chamber. New York State Capitol, State St. and Washington Ave, Albany, NY 12224 Year completed**: 1899 Architectural style: Italian Renaissance/French Renaissance/Romanesque FYI: The Western staircase inside New York’s capitol has been dubbed the “Million Dollar Staircase,” because it cost more than a million dollars to build—in the late-1800s, no less.
