SUMMARY

Synopsis of Bill

House Bill 302, Extend Information Technology Commission, proposes to extend the sunset date for the Information Technology Commission from July 1, 2006 to July 1, 2009. HB 302 contains an emergency clause.

Significant Issues

According to Section 12-9-19 NMSA 1978 (Sunset Act), prior to the termination or continuance of the agency, “…the Legislative Finance Committee shall hold a public hearing to receive testimony from the public and the head of the regulatory agency involved and make a recommendation to the next session of the legislature. In such hearing, the agency shall have the burden of demonstrating a

public need for its continued existence and the extent to which an amendment of the agency’s basic stature may increase the efficiency of the administration or operation of the agency.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS

This bill would extend operations for an additional four years. The current annual operating costs are $772.0 (100 percent general fund support).
