RELATING TO TAX ADMINISTRATION; PROVIDING FOR A REDUCED DISTRIBUTION OF GROSS RECEIPTS TAX REVENUE TO CERTAIN MUNICIPALITIES THAT IMPOSE CIVIL, RATHER THAN CRIMINAL, PENALTIES FOR VIOLATION OF THE MOTOR VEHICLE CODE OR THE MUNICIPALITY'S TRAFFIC CODE; MAKING AN APPROPRIATION.

This bill would reduce gross receipts distributions on a dollar-for-dollar basis to communities with red light programs using civil rather than criminal penalties for violation of the motor vehicle code. Albuquerque is currently the only city in the State of New Mexico with a red light camera program. The money not sent to Albuquerque is distributed to the General Fund. The overall withheld amount would be about equal to the total penalties collected in Albuquerque.
