HB 1 New Mexico House · 2026 Regular Session

FEED BILL

HB 1, titled "FEED BILL," is a procedural appropriations bill that funds the operational expenses of the New Mexico Legislature for its 2026 second session. It allocates $7.24 million for member per diems, salaries, mileage, printing, and other legislative costs (including $13.2 million for district staff support), and $12.8 million for the Legislative Council Service. The bill does not create new policies or affect citizens; it solely provides funding for the legislature’s internal operations. (Note: "FEED BILL" appears to be a misnomer for this appropriations measure.)

MODERATE

The bill was reformatted from a traditional legislative format to a modern act structure with clearer section headings. The substantive content remains largely the same, with appropriations for the 57th Legislature's second session in 2026 totaling approximately $12.8 million for legislative council services and $7.2 million for session expenses. The main changes involve organizational restructuring of the document rather than policy modifications.
