5 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 5 costs, 0 mixed.
Egg businesses pay sales and license fees
Beginning July 1, 2026, egg dealers and producers that package eggs for sale pay $0.005 per dozen sold to retailers or consumers. Annual dealer licenses cost $10 for small dealers, $25 for medium dealers, and $50 for large dealers. In any one week, small dealers handle more than five but fewer than 200 cases. Medium dealers handle more than 200 but fewer than 400 cases; large dealers handle more than 400. Each case contains 30 dozen eggs. Licenses renew July 1, expire June 30, must be posted at the business, and can be revoked for cause. The egg board may adjust fees using the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers through July 1, 2031. Revenue goes to New Mexico State University to run the egg grading program and promote the poultry industry.
Feed sellers pay fees and filing penalties
Beginning July 1, 2026, commercial feed distributors pay $0.25 per ton, with a $5 minimum per reporting period. Each brand sold in packages of ten pounds or less instead carries a $25 annual inspection fee. Those small packages are not subject to the tonnage fee. Distributors must file quarterly tonnage statements and pay the required inspection fees. Late filing carries a 20% penalty, with a $10 minimum; unpaid amounts are enforceable as debts. The feed board may adjust fees using the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers through July 1, 2031.
Fertilizer sellers pay registration and inspection fees
Beginning July 1, 2026, distributors pay $50 to register each fertilizer brand and grade and each soil conditioner product before distribution. Registrations expire December 31 each year; brands already registered by someone else do not need duplicate registration. Fertilizer made to a customer's specifications requires labeling before mixing. Inspection fees for packages over five pounds are $0.35 per ton, with a $5 minimum per reporting period. Sales to manufacturers and exchanges between manufacturers are exempt from that tonnage fee. Brands sold in packages of five pounds or less instead carry a $10 annual inspection fee. Distributors must report tonnage quarterly; the first distributor reports when multiple distributors handle a product. Inaccurate reports or late payments trigger penalties and amounts owed that the board can enforce as debts. The fertilizer board may adjust fees using the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers through July 1, 2031.
Pesticide businesses face fees and renewal penalties
Beginning July 1, 2026, the pesticide board sets fees within the law's caps. Annual pesticide or device registration costs no more than $150. Listed license and certification fees have caps up to $100; the schedule also includes a $75 cap. Extra inspections after equipment fails inspection cost no more than $25, and qualifying exams cost no more than $20. Renewals not filed before expiration carry double the renewal fee. Licenses or certifications left unrenewed for 30 days after expiration may require new exams. The board may adjust fees using the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers through July 1, 2031.
Plant businesses pay inspection and license fees
Beginning July 1, 2026, nursery and nursery-stock inspections cost $75 plus $2 per acre inspected. Inspections for growers raising only vegetable plants cost $25. Covered nursery, florist, dealer, landscaper, and agent licenses cost $75. Special dealer licenses for vegetable or cactus plants cost $25, and collected-plants permits cost $75. Renewing after expiration doubles the fee, unless an affidavit confirms no business was conducted since expiration. The plant board may adopt fee exemptions. It may also adjust fees using the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers through July 1, 2031.
