SUMMARY

 

     Synopsis of Bill

 

Senate Bill 398 amends Section 3-31-1 NMSA 1978 to add public parking lots to the list of projects which may be funded through gasoline tax revenue bonds, gasoline tax, and the street and road improvement fund.  It also adds public parking lots to the list of allowable projects for improvement districts and to the list of items that rights-of-way may be acquired for.  Additionally, the bill contains technical changes that clarify current language by replacing the word times with "multiplied by" pertaining to distribution calculations.

 

     Significant Issues

 

According to the Department of Finance and Administration (DFA), the addition of the public parking lots to the list of allowable projects will potentially reduce the amount of funds available for street maintenance.

 

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS

 

According to DFA, SB 398 will not impact the general fund.
