New Mexico lawmakers have introduced several bills in this legislative session to address the impact of rising costs in the state. House Democrats are focusing on tax cuts to lower the cost of health care, child care, groceries, and the overall cost of living while also increasing take-home pay for hard-working New Mexicans. Some of the proposed legislation includes raising the minimum pay for school staff and laborers on publicly funded projects, stopping employers from deducting credit card fees from tipped workers’ wages, and preventing junk fees. Additionally, House Democrats aim to expand working families’ tax credits to help offset state income tax for New Mexico households. These measures are intended to alleviate the financial burden on residents and improve the economic well-being of families in the state. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
