  • Animal Protection Voters-‐Political Action Committee Issues 2016
    Animal Protection Voters-Political Action Committee Issues 2016 Primary and Early General Election Endorsements for New Mexico Legislature Voters are urged to support the candidates who will do the best job of standing up for the protection of animals in their districts. Santa Fe, N.M. – Animal Protection Voters (APV), the leading political and legislative advocacy organization for animal protection in New Mexico, works via APV-PAC, its political action committee, to support humane candidates for elected office. APV-PAC announced today its endorsement of 19 candidates facing contested races in the primary election on June 7, and early endorsement of 56 candidates seeking election or re-election in the general election on November 8. Incumbents won endorsements for consistently showing animal advocacy and leadership through votes and other actions in the state legislature. New challengers and candidates received endorsements based on their past activity involving animal issues, as well as their responses to a questionnaire on topics including wildlife protection, anti-whistleblower legislation, horse slaughter and funding for animal-related programs. APV-PAC endorsement decisions emphasized two APV priority bills expected to be reintroduced in the 2017 legislative session: a ban on coyote killing contests, and a ban on traps and poisons on public lands. A growing majority of New Mexicans oppose traps and killing contests as unethical and ineffective wildlife management and a danger to public safety. “Most New Mexicans support stronger animal protection laws, and we are delighted to endorse a diverse, bipartisan slate of candidates who will represent the humane vision and values of their constituents,” said Jessica Johnson, Chief Legislative Officer for APV.

  • ABQ NM Representatives Freedom Index
    Rio Grande Foundation Liberty, Opportunity, Prosperity New Mexico Albuquerque New Mexico 2013 HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES The Rio Grande Foundation Freedom Index examines legislation based on its impact on economic freedom and government growth. Numerical values are placed on each bill according to free market principles, regulations, taxation, government transparency, and other metrics. Legislators that vote against a bill that has a negative value gains the positive equivalent of that bill. Likewise, legislators who vote against a bill that has a positive value loses the value associated with that bill. Each legislator’s House or Senate floor votes is tallied from each relevant bill’s numerical value and determines the legislator’s overall index score. The results allow us to see whether a certain legislator, in total, supported or opposed economic freedom and to what degree. How do the Albuquerque legislators compare with the rest of the state? Top bills the House voted on Index Representative Rank (-8) HB 168 (-6) HB 460 (-7) SB 416 (70 total) Score (30-39 (34-33 (37-32 FAILED) PASSED) PASSED) N.

  • 2021 Legislative Final Report
    THE DISABILITY COALITION Advocating for People with Disabilities of All Types DISABILITY ISSUES IN THE 2021 LEGISLATURE FINAL REPORT Jim Jackson, Coalition Chair April 12, 2021 See page 4 for a list of abbreviations used in this report Governor completes action on bills passed by Legislature. The deadline for the governor to act on these bills was this past Friday at noon. Of the 158 bills passed in this year’s regular legislative session, Governor Lujan Grisham signed 140 of them into law. The other 18 (about 11%) were vetoed; 12 of those came with a message explaining the reason for the veto, while 6 others were “pocket” vetoed with no explanation. As noted below, two of the disability-related bills passed in this session were vetoed, while the remaining 11 that we followed through the session were signed into law. The percentage of bills vetoed this year was higher than in the first two years of this governor’s term, but still below the average during the administration of the last Democratic governor (Bill Richardson) and far lower than the veto rate during Republican Susana Martinez’s eight years in office. Disability-Related Bills That Passed the 2021 Legislative Session Vetoed by the Governor SB 285 Emergency transport for MH evaluation. Sen. Jerry Ortiz y Pino and Sen. Daniel Ivey-Soto. Would have allowed an emergency medical technician (EMT) to transport an individual for an emergency mental health evaluation at the request of the individual or of a police officer in situations where the officer has authority under existing state law to detain and transport the individual.

  • 2021 Municipal Day Legislation
    2021 Municipal Day Legislation HOUSE BILLS HB 4 NM CIVIL RIGHTS ACT (Georgene Louis, Brian Egolf, Joseph Cervantes & Patricia Roybal Caballero) The House passed the House Judiciary Committee Substitute as amended on the House Floor this week, yet it still remains a chiefly-punitive measure without effect as to the behavior giving rise to risk, and as a result leaves significant gaps in our state for law enforcement training. The language in the substitute introduces a $2M cap, but limits the cap to each claim, allowing for multiple plaintiffs to leverage a shared event to stack the caps, or a singular plaintiff to use an individual occurrence to accomplish the same result via alleging multiple claims therein. [1] HSEIC/HJC-HSEIC [2] DP-HJC- DNP-CS/DP [4] fl/a- PASSED/H (39-29) [6] SHPAC/SJC-SHPAC HB 11 GRT & PERMANENT FUND FOR LEDA PROJECTS (Christine Chandler & Brian Egolf) The House Taxation and Revenue Committee substitute for House Bill 11 expands the Local Economic Development Act (LEDA) in two ways and makes a $200 million one- time appropriation from the general fund to the renamed “local economic development recovery act fund” (the “LEDA fund,” previously the “local and regional economic development support fund”) for grants to certain businesses, to be administered by the Economic Development Department (EDD) and the New Mexico Finance Authority (NMFA). The Senate Finance Committee amendment to the House Taxation and Revenue Committee substitute for House Bill 11 makes significant changes to the bill. These changes include: • Removes the bill’s permanent changes to the Local Economic Development Act (LEDA) that would have allowed for state and gross receipts tax sharing for certain projects with construction costs greater than $350 million.

    Legislative Asks This year, we are asking lawmakers to help us fight for a healthier New Mexico. This document will guide you through our 2 priority asks for 2021. You probably won't be able to cover all four asks in your meeting/phone call. Start with the area you are most passionate about. Remember to include your personal story! Increase the tax on tobacco products to prevent kids from smoking, help current users quit and raise state revenue. ASK: Please vote to increase the tax on cigarettes by $2 per pack with an equivalent increase in other tobacco products. Vote YES on HB# , SB# . • Significantly raising the tax on tobacco has been proven to stop kids from smoking before they start. What's more, it will save nearly $522 million in health care costs and save the lives of more than 6,600 New Mexicans. • A $2/pack increase in the cigarette tax with an equivalent increase on other tobacco products: o Will prevent more than 9,400 kids from starting to use tobacco: and o Will generate $13 million in new revenue to save critical state programs; and is supported by 81% of New Mexico voters according to recent polls. Local Control or Preemption ASK: Please vote to repeal existing tobacco preemption in the New Mexico Tobacco Products Act in order to allow local governments to adopt their own laws in the most effective ways for their communities.
