The governing body of any county, municipality or school district which shall have
issued refunding bonds under the provisions of Sections 6-15-11 to 6-15-22 NMSA

outstanding, and to pay the annual installment of the principal of said bonds that will
become due and payable in the next ensuing year or the annual mandatory sinking fund
requirement if the principal is to be paid from a sinking fund. Such taxes shall be levied,
assessed and collected at the times and in the manner that other county, municipal or
