This bill, titled the "Feed Bill," appropriates funds for the expenses of the New Mexico Legislature during its second session of the fifty-seventh legislature and for other legislative operations. It allocates over $7.2 million for session expenses, including per diem and mileage for legislators, salaries and benefits for legislative employees in both the Senate and House of Representatives, and general operational expenses for each chamber. The bill also designates funds for the Legislative Council Service, which handles various legislative support functions, and outlines procedures for the printing and distribution of legislative documents. Additionally, it appropriates funds for fiscal year 2027 and beyond for various legislative committees and services, such as the Legislative Finance Committee, the Legislative Education Study Committee, the House and Senate Chief Clerk's offices, and programs related to redistricting data, legislative information systems, and the development of a master database of laws. The bill declares an emergency, meaning it is intended to take effect immediately upon passage for the public peace, health, and safety.
