B. A local government may dedicate up to seventy-five percent of a property tax increment or gross receipts tax increment and the state board of finance, subject to the provisions of Subsection C of this section, may dedicate up to seventy-five percent of a gross receipts tax increment, each as determined pursuant to Section 3-60A-21 NMSA 1978, with the agreement of the municipality, county or state board of finance, evidenced by a resolution adopted by a majority vote of those entities.

(1) the state board of finance has reviewed the request for the use of the state gross receipts tax increment; and
(2) based upon review by the state board of finance of the applicable metropolitan redevelopment plan, the dedication by the state board of finance of the gross receipts tax increment within the metropolitan redevelopment area for use in meeting the required goals of the metropolitan redevelopment plan is reasonable and in the best interest of the state.
