Terms Used In New Mexico Statutes 4-59-4.1

  • Veto: The procedure established under the Constitution by which the President/Governor refuses to approve a bill or joint resolution and thus prevents its enactment into law. A regular veto occurs when the President/Governor returns the legislation to the house in which it originated. The President/Governor usually returns a vetoed bill with a message indicating his reasons for rejecting the measure. In Congress, the veto can be overridden only by a two-thirds vote in both the Senate and the House.

B. The county assessor and entities authorized to levy taxes shall be able to forward their comments and any concerns to the board of county commissioners, but there is no approval required from the county assessor or entities authorized to levy taxes and they do not have veto over the proposed county industrial revenue bond issuance.

C. The county and entities authorized to levy taxes shall jointly develop criteria for issuance of industrial revenue bonds; provided, however, that county industrial revenue bonds may be authorized and issued before development of the criteria is completed.

D. The county shall notify the board of county commissioners, the county assessor and any entity levying taxes on property in the county when an industrial revenue bond has matured, expired or been replaced by a refunding bond.
