PUBLIC CONTRACT REIMBURSEMENTS & WAGES
HB 305 requires New Mexico state agencies to include specific terms in public service contracts starting July 1, 2025. It mandates that contracts provide reimbursement to contractors and subcontractors for wage increases tied to state minimum wage hikes or mandated statutory benefit changes. Workers paid the state minimum wage under these contracts must receive wage increases concurrent with state minimum wage adjustments. The bill directly affects state agencies, contractors, subcontractors, and minimum-wage workers in service-based public contracts.
