7-2C-8. Interest becomes obligation of claimant agency.

Once a transfer is made by the department pursuant to Subsection H of Section 7-2C-6 NMSA 1978, notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, the department, except in its capacity as a claimant agency, is not obligated in any manner for the payment of interest to the debtor or to the claimant agency with respect to that portion of the refund against which the asserted debt was applied for any period after the date of transfer.  Any interest subsequently determined to be due the debtor with respect to any refund against which the asserted debt was applied for any period after the date of transfer is the responsibility of the claimant agency; provided, however, compliance by the department and claimant agency with the provisions of the Tax Refund Intercept Program Act bars accrual of interest, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7-1-68 NMSA 1978.
