HB2 makes recurring general fund appropriations for fiscal year 2023 of $8.48 billion, up 13.9 percent from 2022. This includes $3.87 billion for public schools, which is a $424.9 million, or 12.3 percent, increase from the prior year.
The New Mexico State House of Representatives passed HB2 on February 3, 2022 by a vote of 56 to 8. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this budget greatly expands the size of government and invests more into the country’s failing public-school system, which is indoctrinating our children with Marxist ideology.
