N.M. Stat. § 8-6-7 — NM_STATUTES Code / Chapter 8 / Article 6 / Section 8-6-7
§ 8-6-7. Wrongful drawing or payment of warrant by secretary or treasurer; penalty
Status: in_force

A. If the secretary of finance and administration draws any warrant on the state treasurer when he knows or, with the use of available accounting information, should reasonably know there is an insufficient unexpended and unencumbered balance available for the purpose for which the warrant is drawn, he is in violation of this section unless the warrant will be redeemed using receivables accrued for that fiscal year pursuant to policies of the department of finance and administration.

B. If the state treasurer pays any warrant when he knows or, with the use of available accounting information, should reasonably know there are insufficient funds available in the treasury for the purpose to pay the warrant, he is in violation of this section unless the warrant will be redeemed using receivables accrued for that fiscal year pursuant to policies of the department of finance and administration.

N.M. Stat. § 6-18-2 — NM Code / Chapter 6 / Article 18 / Section 6-18-2
§ 6-18-2. Findings and declarations of necessity
Status: in_force

A. It is found and declared that there exists a substantial financial market for a public body's public securities structured for short-term interest rates which traditionally bear a lesser rate of interest than long-term public securities; that public bodies of this state have not been provided with statutory authority to take advantage of such lower interest rates which has resulted in public bodies paying higher interest rates on their public securities, exacting an unnecessary financial premium from the public bodies and the residents of this state, and impairing the public bodies' ability to obtain responsible, low cost financing for the promotion of the health, safety, security and general welfare of the citizens of the public bodies and of the peoples of the state of New Mexico; that it is a matter of state policy and concern that public bodies shall not continue to pay interest on their public securities at rates higher than those available on bonds issued under the Public Securities Short-Term Interest Rate Act, and that unnecessary consumption of the public bodies' revenue be prevented.

B. It is a matter of state policy and concern that public bodies be provided flexibility in structuring their public securities to take advantage of lower interest rates offered in financial markets for all types and kinds of public securities; that public bodies be authorized and empowered to issue public securities which provide for short-term interest rates, variable interest rates, renewals and refundings of such securities, giving holders the right to put the public security for repurchase before maturity, with related accompanying provisions, and other features which will enhance the marketability of public securities and result in a lower interest cost to the public body.

C. The legislature finds that the ability to take advantage of lower interest rates accorded to public securities structured for short-term interest rates is appropriate for the public bodies of this state because of the size and magnitude of the financing required to support the public bodies. The legislature further finds and declares that the strategies and methods for solving the financing problems of public bodies differ from those in other counties, cities, towns and villages of the state, and it is necessary to authorize public bodies additional powers and flexibility because of the nature and size of their problems and because the governments and governing bodies of such public bodies have sufficient staff to meet and deal with those problems.
