STUDY SPACEPORT ISSUES

This House Memorial requests legislative committees to study financial and governance issues related to New Mexico's spaceport laws (the Regional Spaceport District Act and Spaceport Development Act). It specifically examines whether counties that contribute funds to spaceport development have fair representation in decision-making and whether current rules allow counties to avoid financial responsibility without consent. The study would assess imbalances in contributions versus control, potentially leading to future legislative changes. It does not change existing laws but aims to ensure fairer cost-sharing and governance for affected counties and the spaceport authority.
