Meredith Dixon, D-Albuquerque, pointed to that report when presenting a bill that would provide $2.4 million of state money for New Mexico so that the state could seek primacy over Class VI wells.  Dixon sponsored House Bill 174 along with Rep. Nathan Small, D-Las Cruces.  The bill passed the House Energy, Environment and Natural Resources Committee on a 6-4 vote.
