Several bills received brief committee action or were set aside after shorter hearings.

- SB 303 (Gaming machine standards): Committee members voted a "do pass" recommendation after testimony from the New Mexico Gaming Control Board that the bill would align state requirements with current practice and remove outdated references to Nevada and New Jersey standards.

- SB 302 (Gaming background and license checks): The committee gave a "do pass" recommendation to a bill that would codify background-check authority for contractors and certain licensees and extend suitability/renewal periods to three years; the Gaming Control Board said the change corrects a federal Department of Justice audit finding.

- SB 457 (Civil legal services funding): Members voted "do pass" on a transfer of $20 million from the general fund to provide civil legal services for low-income persons in 2026; proponents described broad bipartisan support.

- SB 105 (Social work licensure interstate compact): The committee adopted several amendments and approved a substitute version that would join New Mexico to the social work licensure compact with state-specific changes to subpoenas, venue and indemnification language. The bill sponsor said compact membership aids military spouse employment and telehealth access for social work services.

- SB 375 (Corrections: probation/parole reforms and good-time rules): The committee recommended do pass on a proposal that removes parole fees, adjusts good-time accounting so credits are provided up front (and can be administratively lost for violations), and makes other changes proponents said will focus supervision resources on higher-risk probationers. The Sentencing Commission recorded a unanimous advisory vote in favor, according to witnesses.

- SB 10 (Anti-hazing for higher education): Committee members discussed federal anti-hazing statutes enacted December 2024 and campus policies already in place; members asked for amendments to tighten certain definitions and to reconcile criminal penalties and institutional reporting. The committee took no final action on SB 10 and planned further work.

Votes and formal committee outcomes recorded in the hearing transcript: several bills (SB 302, SB 303, SB 457, SB 105, SB 375) received committee do-pass recommendations; SB 14 was rolled over for further work; SB 10 was not advanced at this hearing.

Ending: Sponsors and agency representatives said they will continue to refine language in follow-up meetings; several bills will return to committee with amendments or move to the Senate calendar as substitutes.
