The sponsor said House Bill 396 had been tabled 10-0 in House Commerce and Economic Development after concerns that the original bill did not hold local entities harmless and could reduce revenue used by school districts and other local programs. House Memorial 60 asks the relevant interim committee to examine ways to hold local governments harmless while assessing GRT and bond language related to spaceport development.

Representative Block asked whether the original bill held local governments harmless; the sponsor said it did not and that some school districts would have lost revenue. Representatives discussed the importance of talking with local stakeholders in the interim to find ways to make them whole while addressing the county-level GRT question for Dona Ana County and others.

Representative Luhan moved a do-pass recommendation and Representative Borrego seconded. The chair called for opposition; none was raised. The chair announced the memorial \"has to do pass.\" The transcript records no public testimony for or against the memorial during the committee hearing.

The memorial will proceed for interim review by the Science, Technology and Telecommunications Committee, as requested in the memorial text; the sponsor stood for questions and said they would work with local officials in the interim.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","House - Government, Elections And Indian Affairs Mar 19, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","House Memorial 60 asks an interim committee to study questions raised by House Bill 396 about spaceport gross receipts tax language and how to hold local entities harmless; the committee recommended the memorial do pass.","taxTitle","House of Representatives, Legislative, New Mexico","taxId",78418,"location","New Mexico","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6123605,"Committee gives due pass to bill requiring annual list of recent non-graduates for in-state reengagement programs",1788,228000,2016000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2689370-00bb1128eef72847e208c756679885b7&start=228&end=2016","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2689370-00bb1128eef72847e208c756679885b7/thumbnail_228000.jpg","/articles/6123605/New-Mexico/Committee-gives-due-pass-to-bill-requiring-annual-list-of-recent-non-graduates-for-in-state-reengagement-programs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6123605-fe5a8d27d65e25ead7696597c504b8c7/orig.mp4?Expires=1770654624&Signature=aaAo-t06lKaTYgfAKdiu6GMLndXHZr2863yKlTVPjW5~IX3tBEDst5uxRWMxCoEQQIDkIOdwmPx~j4b3vwpevzDT7BAnUCDuUqAJ-Wlovw1PxoDHg3VRXFG4xZx6Rxmpxf5y5icWLPwhg0OII7PHU4Bzp8osZ6ZN5~xewlcfkn8CP3VjMJ8ugKDYlFgox5kK4-1i60nXTN9OAAMetZ9dJPPJ3HW9ayo32nJ40LaT2wvpWSQ-Y5Cm-o1dFXEKg-zxJsn6OWfV7m~GrSPD74ECffn-kvVyebxZIo8K7me5n1R3z43NzZyzNqDXh74WYbMMGMbUMk--dZjjC-sS0~Ds6g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Senate Bill 480 would require the New Mexico Public Education Department (PED) to create, each summer, a list of students who were enrolled in high school in any of the prior four years and did not graduate during that four-year window, and to share that list with in-state postsecondary institutions and New Mexico-based adult basic education or workforce programs for targeted reengagement.

\"Senate Bill 480 would require that every summer, the PED create a list of all students who were in high school in any of the last 4 years who did not graduate within those 4 years,\" the bill sponsor told the committee. The sponsor and a co-sponsor said the intent is to provide a centralized, in-state list so programs with reengagement, high school equivalency or workforce credentialing offerings can recruit directly and more efficiently.

Multiple witnesses representing education organizations and local institutions testified in support. Carrie Robin Brunder of Public Charter Schools of New Mexico said the bill is not a charter-only measure but a way to coordinate existing programs and give colleges and workforce providers a list to recruit from. Stan Rounds of the School Superintendents Association described local experience in Las Cruces where sharing such data with community colleges and alternative programs allowed districts to \"reengage students who had stepped away.\" Vanessa Hawker, executive director of the New Mexico Independent Community Colleges, and Linda Siegel, representing Santa Fe Public Schools and a Santa Fe Community College board member, also voiced support.

Committee members broadly supported the goal but asked detailed questions about scope and student privacy. Sponsors said the list would include student name, phone number and recent address, and that it would target students who are of school age up to 22 years old under state law. Committee members raised concerns about confidentiality and commercialized recruitment by some schools; sponsor and witnesses emphasized the bill's in-state limitation and the use of PED data-sharing agreements. The transcript records several clarifications from sponsors and witnesses:

- A parent or guardian can opt out of directory sharing at registration under existing practice; that opt-out is controlled under federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) rules, the committee was told.
- PED's standard data-sharing agreements would be used to limit how recipient institutions access and use the data; witnesses described those agreements as more restrictive than a public records request and not subject to IPRA.
- The information shared for students who did not attend a requesting institution would be limited, according to witnesses, to name, phone number, address and participation history while enrolled.

After questions and public testimony, committee members voted; the chair announced the bill had a \"due pass.\" Several committee members asked for tighter language on confidentiality and data-sharing procedures before floor consideration.

Votes at this committee stage were announced by voice; the chair recorded no roll-call vote by name in the transcript.","Senate Bill 480 would require PED to create an annual list of students who were enrolled in high school during the previous four years and did not graduate, and to make that list available to in-state postsecondary and reengagement programs.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6123610,"Committee adopts amendment striking legislator per diem language, shifts mileage-setting authority",151,10000,161000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2689370-00bb1128eef72847e208c756679885b7&start=10&end=161","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2689370-00bb1128eef72847e208c756679885b7/thumbnail_10000.jpg","/articles/6123610/New-Mexico/Committee-adopts-amendment-striking-legislator-per-diem-language-shifts-mileage-setting-authority","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6123610-7bd430d54e058e2553a9861d157fe685/orig.mp4?Expires=1770654624&Signature=nXYcuLDfVbhnJIfgD-ghreSmSjYCxOH~S373mWPVylDnPQniDua7QTEt29fBaC3UuOSS3E-7U2DwJgEMmC7JetbT2~Bl3eNfJWdgZwcKLVorx-O6sE3dMg9BtlEIkRXMSslUc59ihGboPbtA3yoZhqrZ1U1JMC71NriO89LrA9XddTJ~agl0HtZSQSlWlD9tEHn~mfG7ChDshhykK8OeZPOSJe6a5I3HNKnwuHTMW~fhungIQbekMQ13ylv04iExqNYJBPlZcw6GRTMuw9cL5FOUn3qdhlnqKysE3awHXOSwmtt5x6dPyX9MmLfm8Xs2pSp9HAD9hBnMBIk4waaACQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The House Government, Elections and Indian Affairs Committee adopted an amendment that removes the bill's first section on legislator per diem and revises how state employee mileage is set.

The amendment, identified in committee as amendment number 0.232029 0.1, \"strikes the whole first section, which deals with legislator per diem,\" and leaves the bill's later provisions that affect public employees and mileage rates. The sponsor explained that the first section was \"in the constitution\" and noted concerns about the level of specificity there, which prompted the decision to remove it. The amendment also changes the standard mileage reference from the Internal Revenue Service to a rate set under rules by the Department of Finance Administration and that in turn references the United States General Services Administration for some vehicle-class rates.

Committee members moved and seconded consideration of the amendment, and the chair asked for opposition; none was raised. The chair announced the amendment was adopted.

The committee proceeded with the amended bill and opened the record for public testimony but recorded no in-person or online comments on the amended language at that time.

Notes: the transcript records the amendment language and the committee's adoption; no formal roll-call vote count was read into the record by name.","The House Government, Elections and Indian Affairs Committee adopted an amendment that removes the bill's first section addressing legislator per diem and modifies how the standard mileage rate is set, moving references from the IRS to rules tied to the Department of Finance Administration and the U.S. General Services Administration.","actionData","errors"]
