The recent amendment to Senate Bill 138 removed references to distributing funds from oil and gas proceeds and pass-through entity withholding taxes to the Magistrate Retirement Fund and the Judicial Retirement Fund. Instead, these funds will now go to a Legislative Retirement Fund. This change is significant because it shifts how retirement funding is allocated, potentially impacting financial support for judges and magistrates in New Mexico, while directing resources towards legislative officials.
