What changed in the latest version
25 added · 80 removedPlain-language change summary
The amendments to SB 290 involve raising the marriage licensing fee from its previous amount to fifty-five dollars. Additionally, the way these fees are distributed has been clarified: now, a portion will go to the county general fund, the children's trust fund, and the county clerk's office. This change is significant because it aims to ensure better funding for both local services and initiatives benefiting children in New Mexico.
