During the New Mexico Legislative Special Session yesterday, the House of Representatives passed HB 2, entitled the Household Relief Payments bill, that will send direct payments to New Mexicans for the purpose of providing economic relief from rising gas prices and other necessities. According to a news release, “The payments will consist of a total of two $250 payments for individuals and two $500 payments for joint filers. All New Mexicans that file a state tax return will receive the funds and there will be no “means test” or income gap. Seniors, people with disabilities, or others with little or no taxable income will also be eligible to receive direct relief payments.” HB 2 passed by a vote of 51 to 13. The bill now goes to the Senate for a floor vote.
