Lege Trend. Imposing Taxes on Non-Profits that operate certain facilities.

Why would a state want to tax a non-profit? New Mexico will be losing $30 million in tax revenue when Texas Universities take over operation from California Universities in partnership with a private company.

How did New Mexico phrase taxing Texas Universities? “receipts of a prime contractor that are derived from operating a facility in New Mexico designated as a national laboratory by an act of congress.”

The bill: Senate Bill 17
