SUMMARY

Synopsis of Bill

House Bill 1021 increases the maximum levy assessed per head of cattle within those counties

with established predator control programs.

Significant Issues

House Bill 1021 raises the cap on special levies assessed per head of cattle from a maximum of

25 cents to $1.00.

The New Mexico Livestock Board notes the added levy will be assessed above those fees cur-

rently levied per head of cattle for other inspections.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS

Those counties which have a predator control program in place will realize significant growth in

revenues if the cap is implemented to the maximum limit.
