SPAY & NEUTER FEE DELAYED REPEAL

HB 51 repeals a delayed repeal of a fee for spay and neuter programs established in 2020. This bill removes the provision that would have postponed the fee's elimination, ensuring the fee is permanently removed without further delay. The fee was likely collected from pet owners during licensing or registration processes. As a result, pet owners in New Mexico will no longer be charged this fee for spay/neuter program services.
