Bill > HB95

This bill, titled "Additional Second Judicial District Judgeship," proposes to increase the number of district judges in New Mexico's Second Judicial District from thirty to thirty-one, thereby creating one new judgeship. To fund this expansion, the bill appropriates $451,400 from the general fund to the administrative office of the courts for the fiscal year 2027, intended to cover expenses such as salaries and benefits for the new judge and their staff, as well as necessary equipment and supplies. Any funds not spent by the end of fiscal year 2027 will be returned to the general fund.
