N.M. Stat. § 5-5-19
Application of proceeds.
All moneys received from the issuance of any bonds herein authorized shall be used
solely for the purpose (or purposes) for which issued, including without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the payment of preliminary expenses; provided, however,

be dependent on or affected by the validity or regularity of any proceedings relating to
the acquisition or improvement of the project for which the bonds are issued; and the
purchaser or purchasers of the bonds shall in no manner be responsible for the
application of the proceeds of the bonds by the municipality or any of its officers, agents
and employees.
