Bill Summary

AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC FINANCE; ALLOCATING SEVERANCE TAX BONDING CAPACITY TO THE NEW MEXICO HOUSING TRUST FUND; AUTHORIZING SEVERANCE TAX BONDS; REQUIRING CERTAIN REVERSIONS TO THE SEVERANCE TAX BONDING FUND; REQUIRING THE NEW MEXICO MORTGAGE FINANCE AUTHORITY TO PRIORITIZE EXPENDING OR ENCUMBERING CERTAIN BALANCES IN THE NEW MEXICO HOUSING TRUST FUND.

AI Summary

This bill allocates 2.5% of the state's severance tax bonding capacity to the New Mexico Housing Trust Fund, which is managed by the New Mexico Mortgage Finance Authority. The bill authorizes the state board of finance to issue severance tax bonds for the trust fund, with the proceeds to be used for funding housing projects. The bill also requires the authority to prioritize expending or encumbering balances in the trust fund from loan repayments before using more recently issued bond proceeds, and to monitor and ensure proper reversions of any unused bond funds back to the severance tax bonding fund. The provisions of the bill related to the severance tax bond allocation will commence in January 2024.
