House Bill 110 would allow an educator who holds an initial, valid and unencumbered teaching license from another compact member state to be granted an equivalent initial license in New Mexico. The compact’s provisions would apply to the initial license issued by the receiving state; renewal or advancement of that license would remain subject to New Mexico’s existing requirements.

Supporters told the committee the compact streamlines credentialing for educators who move between states and said the measure is a Department of Defense priority intended to ease licensing burdens on military families. Adam Dier Singh, a policy analyst with the Council of State Governments’ National Center for Interstate Compacts, described the compact’s development, said a national commission is being stood up and noted the compact’s data system is under construction.

Megan Delarosa, representing the Military Based Planning Commission, told the committee the compact “directly benefits our military families by allowing licensed teachers to transfer credentials across state lines more easily,” and Allison Riley with the New Mexico Chamber of Commerce said the bill would help alleviate teacher shortages by reducing bureaucratic barriers.

Lawmakers asked several procedural and implementation questions. Representative Baca asked whether state-specific requirements—such as fees, constitution exams or timeframes for meeting licensing conditions—would still apply; Adam Dier Singh said states may retain such requirements but the compact intends they be met after the initial license is granted and before the first renewal. Representatives also raised questions about New Mexico’s tiered licensure (levels 1–3), how the compact would map out-of-state licenses to New Mexico levels, and how lifetime licenses issued by other states would be handled. Committee testimony indicated those determinations remain with the state licensing agency and with rulemaking by the Public Education Department (PED).

After discussion, Ranking Member Baca moved a due-pass recommendation and Representative Collin seconded. The committee completed a roll call and the vice chair announced the bill had a due pass recommendation.

The bill’s supporters said it is aimed primarily at teachers who move states frequently—notably military families—and that compact membership has not been shown in other professions to drive professionals to leave their home states. Committee members who supported the bill said they favored passage while seeking follow-up clarifications from PED on implementation details.

No members of the public spoke in opposition during the committee hearing.

A next step will be the bill’s consideration by the full House after the committee report and any required rulemaking clarifications are addressed.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","House - Education Mar 3, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The House Education Committee gave a due-pass recommendation to House Bill 110 on a voice/roll call vote, advancing legislation that would enter New Mexico into the Interstate Teacher Mobility Compact.","taxTitle","House of Representatives, Legislative, New Mexico","taxId",78418,"location","New Mexico","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6303479,"Committee advances $1,000 preceptor tax credit aimed at expanding health workforce",1856,1156920,3012990,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2472011-1f30b3bca66ce34025d32de3330a9059&start=1156&end=3012","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2472011-1f30b3bca66ce34025d32de3330a9059/thumbnail_1156920.jpg","/articles/6303479/New-Mexico/Committee-advances-1000-preceptor-tax-credit-aimed-at-expanding-health-workforce","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6303479-9b9041069135ff49c6d2626b57474ce8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771164940&Signature=kD~twDi~4ITz0Z~LwB4uIXAlNaNQ2vKRafCDYz0utOYAmPsf8Ek0SNOPRDsl-XcdROka0Uiqy0u0XzQeK-rSkH9CLpTJiUVjbMU1orzcP3TPWuOSWNTpEvBK46ZfLjjJgDLe9ReRlkefwiqWEK6fixEMg6HT7S~c30ncafDCf9rA31tvH1YSNJ7n34Ycn~iQCeBfk2hjLkev2nsz4P2vJW-lm3iFsHzXaWHFCdxJdj3t4OUIec2EGPCxz1VZxif9Uh1r1A9uKOC7X13nO-SzWqB-aLNJW25WlHqw~rTV2r5J29rS4rCzlnIVmWbxrzlouNcCBA4Y36LA9GOy6A8tBg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The House Education Committee gave a due-pass recommendation to House Bill 395, which would create a $1,000 personal income tax credit for qualifying volunteer health-care preceptors who supervise at least one residency rotation during the taxable year.

Representative Gonzales, the bill sponsor, said the credit is intended to expand clinical training capacity across New Mexico by compensating volunteer clinicians who supervise residents and other trainees. The amended bill clarifies that preceptors may be volunteers affiliated with universities or community sites and specifically names nurse‑midwives among the covered license types.

Matthew Probst, an expert witness, described the credit as a way to “bust open the bottleneck” in clinical training by valuing clinicians who mentor the next generation of health professionals. Testimony in support came from Think New Mexico, the New Mexico Nursing Association, the American College of Nurse Midwives (New Mexico affiliate), Southwest Bone and Joint Institute, and the Greater Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce. Supporters said the credit is one low-cost policy among several to increase the number of trained clinicians who may then remain in New Mexico.

The bill sets basic eligibility and administration rules: an eligible preceptor must be a volunteer (non‑compensated for the precepting activity), complete at least one full residency rotation during the taxable year, and obtain a certificate from the supervising institution to attach to their tax filing. Committee testimony noted residency rotations vary in length and that the bill does not differentiate credit amounts for multiple rotations; one qualifying rotation in the taxable year is sufficient to claim the single $1,000 credit.

Representative Baca and others pressed for clarifications about timing (academic rotation vs. tax year), verification of successful preceptorship, how the credit treats preceptors who also receive compensation or stipends, and whether credits would be capped. Witnesses said the credit is limited to volunteer preceptors and would be claimed with an institutional certificate; the bill does not include a statewide dollar cap. The fiscal analysis projects the credit beginning in fiscal year 2026 with multi‑year projections through FY2029 but the sponsor said she did not include a sunset clause and the credit is intended to be ongoing until legislative action changes it.

Representative Roybal Caballero moved a due‑pass recommendation; the motion was seconded and the committee advanced the bill to the next stage.

Supporters urged the committee to adopt the credit to increase clinical training slots statewide and to help rural and tribal communities recruit clinicians trained in those communities. No witnesses spoke in opposition during the hearing.","The House Education Committee gave a due‑pass recommendation to House Bill 395, which would create a $1,000 personal income tax credit for volunteer health‑care preceptors who supervise at least one residency rotation during the taxable year.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6303469,"Committee extends local‑match relief for school capital projects, eases waiver tests",323,5165650,5488810,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2472011-1f30b3bca66ce34025d32de3330a9059&start=5165&end=5488","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2472011-1f30b3bca66ce34025d32de3330a9059/thumbnail_5165650.jpg","/articles/6303469/New-Mexico/Committee-extends-localmatch-relief-for-school-capital-projects-eases-waiver-tests","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6303469-cbf07b0ce985bad54e3ac0d84f620e2b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771164940&Signature=SkccgZxiPORSVYZEW-wBdkrIJpAy4ATowp0q0IoooLQDzj1OrZDsHCuJuMx0F~g48Eu8anRF-MH7qvi2GO9kQESp-YI-fIWYKrr2cJI4KaIIQhShqcgRGrfBVlDvfmXaVeWg5y10SJ130JGMF3dbM3zivZI9oIl51imGM3xELeZMYKSYxHlwnPspMVOlXsdYur~Mpqwp-16mwZpvWCcqnew094JuaiwE9Tr4MW4lU2yt6YAxtt0lDX3YGofG2AbNln~6JSEm68Ak2TBpF8AhJoOhT88l-V-t8tZlNyso-59ZjzTk6RhToe0DVVHjsiGNGseNs3acbdj6~XHWyxr5EA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The House Education Committee recommended Senate Bill 82 for passage, advancing legislation that extends a temporary reduction in local match requirements and eliminates two waiver subrequirements to help small or high‑poverty school districts access state capital funds.

Chair Romero said the bill was developed with the Public School Capital Outlay Task Force and the Legislative Education Study Committee to address known hurdles small districts face when applying for capital projects. Testimony from the New Mexico School Boards Association, the Public School Capital Outlay Council (PSCOC) leadership and the NEA of New Mexico supported the change, saying the reduced local match and relaxed waiver criteria have enabled small districts to proceed with needed projects in recent cycles.

Lili May Ortiz, legislative liaison for the New Mexico School Boards Association, told the committee the measure would increase the number of districts eligible for local match waivers in the PSCOC award process and “provide students with safe, comfortable, and appropriate learning environments.” Joe Guillen, executive director of the School Boards Association and chair of PSCOC, said relaxing match requirements has made the difference in many districts being able to afford projects.

No witnesses testified in opposition. Representative Latta moved a due‑pass recommendation; Representative Collin seconded and the committee advanced the bill.

Supporters said the change aims to speed funds to districts that have historically been unable to meet local match requirements and to reduce administrative barriers for micro districts and high‑poverty districts to secure state capital outlays.","Senate Bill 82 received a due‑pass recommendation after testimony that temporarily reduced local match requirements and eliminated two small‑district waiver subrequirements would help small and high‑poverty districts access state capital funds; school boards and the Public School Capital Outlay Council supported the change.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6303474,"Committee advances bill to create Higher Education Major Projects Fund",1432,3739070,5171540,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2472011-1f30b3bca66ce34025d32de3330a9059&start=3739&end=5171","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2472011-1f30b3bca66ce34025d32de3330a9059/thumbnail_3739070.jpg","/articles/6303474/New-Mexico/Committee-advances-bill-to-create-Higher-Education-Major-Projects-Fund","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6303474-fad9bdcf32c8c0c7f01f8e848c061913/orig.mp4?Expires=1771164940&Signature=hEM25aly1chTd4aSIhrSD39-WcKIcKdoUlk4X943GSv88LejZmsCEpMWZMi0JR5Jq6j5hIJrMtNNVTmFvSMZiOr3g3MQJYd24S4GkyF3tI49vSO5ukjqahZTTvBmpMUyTPqvh0XGjZwZLWIzxVfip4FR5zYCw5XJBVNfnnatVZx31HIIOxIl4vhqMuOJD8tg09AMnvY2t3RomYlEQzeVEp8jVk53pOzRgR1X9OGfzlDmeL~CkzsLVE6Pt1mrkQXWB9c4t17yrir3j85-lzkPUFbIrt~xqkblV1wV2PXSyjIQvqnXGWvIWup01Fi9OQYuKUU9GO0o9aWxIx~j3ssRzQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The House Education Committee recommended House Bill 449 for passage, a bill to establish a Higher Education Major Projects Fund intended to support high‑cost university construction projects and student life projects such as residence halls.

Representative Baca presented the bill on behalf of the sponsor and described the fund as aimed at projects over $5 million that would otherwise strain the state’s general obligation bond capacity. Kelly Carswell, a capital outlay analyst, said institutions have seen their dedicated revenues lag construction cost growth and that the fund would provide a statutory vehicle and process for institutions to request support for major projects.

Testimony in support came from higher‑education institutions and associations, including the National Education Association of New Mexico, the Institute of American Indian Arts (speaking for tribal colleges), the New Mexico Council of University Presidents, New Mexico Independent Community Colleges, UNM and other institutions. Supporters emphasized deferred maintenance, student housing shortages, and the need for a mechanism to fund very large projects that currently consume most available bond capacity.

Committee members asked how projects would be prioritized, who would oversee allocations, and how tribal colleges and branch campuses would be treated. Witnesses and staff said existing processes—higher education capital outlay committees, LFC recommendations and ultimate legislative appropriation—would be part of the implementation; the bill establishes a framework but future rulemaking and an implementation period would be needed to set criteria and identify funding sources. An amendment clarifying the roles of public community colleges and branch campuses was discussed and withdrawn for consideration in the next committee.

Representative Roybal Caballero moved a due‑pass recommendation; the motion was seconded and the committee approved the recommendation. Supporters asked the legislature to identify capitalization sources in future sessions; experts suggested nonrecurring appropriations or other identified revenues could be used to seed the fund.

No witnesses testified in opposition during the hearing.","House Bill 449, which would establish a fund to support major higher‑education capital projects (generally projects over $5 million) and ease pressure on general obligation bond capacity, received a due‑pass recommendation after supporters said it would help tribal colleges, branch campuses and student housing projects; lawmakers asked about elig","actionData","errors"]
