This bill passed the House. Important item in this spending bill - authorization for NM to increase the distribution from our permanent fund for early childhood programs and public schools. This allowx the constitutional amendment to go into effect.

Strangely, any increase in the distribution from our permanent fund has to be okayed by Congress. Don't ask me why, I don't know.
