A distribution pursuant to Section 7-1-6.1 NMSA 1978 shall be made to the veterans' state cemetery fund of the amounts designated pursuant to Section 7-2-28 NMSA 1978 as contributions to that fund after the city of Santa Fe has received the balance of tax refund contributions in the amount of one million seventy thousand dollars ($1,070,000).

History: 1978 Comp., § 7-1-6.18, enacted by Laws 1987, ch. 257, § 1; 2011, ch. 42, § 2; 2016, ch. 7, § 1.

The 2016 amendment, effective May 18, 2016, changed the name of the veterans' national cemetery fund to the veterans' state cemetery fund, removed a contingency on a distribution to the veterans' state cemetery fund that already occurred, and removed a requirement that certain excess amounts in the veterans' state cemetery fund be distributed to the substance abuse education fund; in the catchline, after "veterans'", deleted "national" and added "state"; deleted "Upon a certification by the state board of finance that the city of Santa Fe grants and conveys additional acreage for the Santa Fe national cemetery", after "veterans'", deleted "national" and added "state", after "contributions to that fund", deleted "provided that when the sum of contributions received on or after January 1, 1988 equals one million seventy thousand dollars ($1,070,000), any contributions received in excess of that amount shall be distributed to the substance abuse education fund" and added "after the city of Santa Fe has received the balance of tax refund contributions in the amount of one million seventy thousand dollars ($1,070,000)".

The 2011 amendment, effective June 17, 2011, eliminated the provision that permitted distributions to the substance abuse education fund if House Bill 103 of the first session of the thirty-eighth legislature became law.
