This is the official nmlegis action history. I'm doing my best to translate the LONG/WEIRD-STRING to something less gibberishy. And before you ask, no, the "Legis Day" number has no mapping to the real world.

This table shows bill actions detected on Ed's system, using heuristics that may not be 100% accurate and which may not reflect the "official" nmlegis chronology. It is probably more than you care to know.

HOUSE BILL 305
57th legislature - STATE OF NEW MEXICO - first session, 2025
INTRODUCED BY
Rebecca Dow and Miguel P. García
AN ACT
RELATING TO PUBLIC CONTRACTS; REQUIRING THAT PUBLIC CONTRACTS PROVIDE FOR INCREASED CONTRACTOR AND SUBCONTRACTOR REIMBURSEMENT AND WORKER WAGE INCREASES IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND CONCURRENT WITH STATE MINIMUM WAGE INCREASES OR INCREASED COSTS AS MANDATED BY LAW.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO:
SECTION 1. A new section of the Minimum Wage Act is enacted to read:
"[NEW MATERIAL] PUBLIC CONTRACTS--SERVICES--MINIMUM WAGE INCREASES--INCREASES IN COST MANDATED BY LAW.--
A. Beginning July 1, 2025, a state agency that contracts for services shall include in the terms of that contract:
(1) a provision for increasing reimbursement so that the contractor and any subcontractor to that contract are held harmless for any wage increase resulting from an increase in the state minimum wage or cost increase resulting from a change to statutory benefits; and
(2) a requirement that individuals employed pursuant to that contract or a subcontract of that contract who are paid the state minimum wage shall receive wage increases in accordance with and concurrent with increases in the state minimum wage.
B. As used in this section:
(1) "contract" means any agreement for the procurement of services;
(2) "services" means the furnishing of labor, time or effort by a contractor or subcontractor not involving the delivery of a specific end product other than reports and other materials that are merely incidental to the required performance;
(3) "statutory benefits" means any benefit that an employer is required by state law to provide to the employer's employees; and
(4) "subcontract" means a contract subordinate to another superordinate contract, which subcontract is to procure in whole or in part services to be procured under the terms of the superordinate contract."
