SFNM News:
A bill that would require employers to pay more into the retirement fund for New Mexico educators passed the Senate Education Committee on a 5-3 party-line vote Wednesday.
Under Senate Bill 42, the employer contribution rate to the New Mexico Educational Retirement Board would go up by 1 percent a year for the next four years.
Senate President Pro Tem Mimi Stewart, D-Albuquerque, said the legislation would “go a long way towards the solvency” of the pension system, which covers all employees in K-12 schools, public colleges and universities.
