Summary

The Senate passed Senate Bill 377 to create a New Mexico United specialty license plate, with proceeds directed to the state tourism department’s campaign; vote was 37‑2.

Senate Bill 377 authorizes a specialty license plate for the New Mexico United professional soccer club. Senator Maestas explained the plate design and said proceeds would support the state’s tourism campaign (New Mexico True). The sponsor noted the team’s high attendance and anticipated a new stadium in coming years.

The bill passed the Senate with a recorded tally announced as 37 in the affirmative and 2 in the negative. Sponsor and colleagues spoke in a light‑hearted tone about the team’s local popularity; no substantive amendments were taken on the floor.
