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.

B. For a fee of thirty-five dollars ($35.00), which shall be in addition to the regular motor vehicle registration fees, a motor vehicle owner may apply for issuance of a Trail Life USA special registration plate. The owner shall pay a renewal fee of thirty dollars ($30.00) each year to retain and renew the Trail Life USA special registration plate.
C. Revenue from the fees imposed by Subsection B of this section for a Trail Life USA special registration plate shall be distributed as follows:

D. Beginning on July 1, 2031, and on July 1 of each subsequent year, the department may compare the number of Trail Life USA special registration plates issued and renewed in the previous fiscal year with the average number of such plates issued and renewed annually between fiscal years 2026 through 2031. If the department determines that the number of Trail Life USA special registration plates issued and renewed in the previous fiscal year is less than fifty percent of the average number of the plates issued and renewed annually between fiscal years 2026 through 2031, the department may stop issuing Trail Life USA special registration plates."
