0011| A JOINT MEMORIAL
|
0012| REQUESTING THE NEW MEXICO LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL TO ASSIGN TO AN
|
0013| INTERIM COMMITTEE THE TASK OF STUDYING THE GASOLINE TAX AND
|
0014| SPECIAL FUELS TAX AND RECOMMENDING AMENDMENTS THAT WILL BENEFIT
|
0015| BOTH THE STATE AND THE TRIBES.
|
0016|
|
0017| WHEREAS, the taxation and revenue department has determined
|
0018| that there are flaws in the way the Gasoline Tax Act and the
|
0019| Special Fuels Supplier Tax Act are written that could
|
0020| potentially eliminate all gasoline and special fuels taxes paid
|
0021| to the state; and
|
0022| WHEREAS, testimony was given by the taxation and revenue
|
0023| department to the revenue stabilization and tax policy committee
|
0024| during the 1995 interim regarding these perceived flaws; and
|
0025| WHEREAS, the above-stated consequences of the flaws could
|
0001| occur if all gasoline and special fuels were exempt from state
|
0002| taxation; and
|
0003| WHEREAS, the revenue stabilization and tax policy committee
|
0004| neither received nor requested other testimony about the problem
|
0005| from parties who would be affected by the amendments proposed by
|
0006| the taxation and revenue department, specifically, the Indian
|
0007| nations, tribes and pueblos in this state; and
|
0008| WHEREAS, Indian nations, tribes and pueblos in the state
|
0009| are seeking avenues for economic development; and
|
0010| WHEREAS, the legislature has recognized that gasoline
|
0011| prices in New Mexico are among the highest in the United States,
|
0012| even though oil is produced and refined in New Mexico; and
|
0013| WHEREAS, the people of the state could benefit from
|
0014| increased gasoline price competition; and
|
0015| WHEREAS, no legislative committee has sought to find the
|
0016| best solution for resolving the flaw in the Gasoline Tax Act and
|
0017| the Special Fuels Supplier Tax Act; and
|
0018| WHEREAS, both the state and the tribes need to find a
|
0019| solution that will provide mutual benefits;
|
0020| NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE
|
0021| STATE OF NEW MEXICO that the New Mexico legislative council
|
0022| assign the duty to identify the potential losses that are likely
|
0023| to be incurred by the state as a result of the existing Gasoline
|
0024| Tax Act and Special Fuels Supplier Tax Act, the effect that
|
0025| lower gasoline prices at tribal gas stations would have on
|
0001| gasoline prices in their immediate area and statewide and the
|
0002| potential changes in the Gasoline Tax Act and Special Fuels
|
0003| Supplier Tax Act that will be fair and beneficial to both the
|
0004| state and the Indian nations, tribes or pueblos as well as the
|
0005| consumers of the state; and
|
0006| BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the appropriate interim
|
0007| committee provide suggested legislation or other solutions to
|
0008| the gasoline and special fuels tax questions to the first
|
0009| session of the forty-third legislature; and
|
0010| BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this memorial be
|
0011| distributed to the New Mexico legislative council, the governor,
|
0012| the secretary of taxation and revenue and the Indian nations,
|
0013| tribes and pueblos located in New Mexico.
