  • 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.

The Las Cruces’ Arts and Cultural District was recently named a state-recognized arts and culture district by a The New Mexico Arts Commission. This recognition will help fuel the growth of our creative economy and provide benefits for businesses, workers and artists in the district, which extends from Mesquite Street on the east, Water Street on the west, Picacho Avenue on the north and Amador Avenue on the South.

  • DISABILITY ISSUES in the 2017 LEGISLATURE STATUS REPORT #5 Jim Jackson, Chief Executive Officer Disability Rights New Mexico February 20, 2017
    DISABILITY ISSUES IN THE 2017 LEGISLATURE STATUS REPORT #5 Jim Jackson, Chief Executive Officer Disability Rights New Mexico February 20, 2017 Coming Events at the Capitol Today: Votes in the House on HB 85, requiring state registration of board and care facilities, and HB 132, authorizing an accessibility emblem for specialty license plates for persons with disabilities. Possible vote in the Senate on SJM 6, calling for a task force regarding direct care workers HHHC hearing on HB 327, prohibiting sub-minimum wages for persons with disabilities Thursday: Disability Rights Awareness Day activities at Drury Plaza Hotel Friday: Disability Rights Awareness Day at the State Capitol. Rotunda events 11:30 to 1:00 House Budget Plan Taking Shape. The House Appropriations and Finance Committee is expected to approve a state budget bill this week that presumes that the Legislature will adopt measures to bring in about $218 million in new state revenue in the coming year. Relying on an assumption of new funding measures that have not yet been signed into law is highly unusual, but without new income, the state faces a projected deficit of nearly $100 million in the coming year. A wide variety of proposals have been introduced that would bring in such additional revenue. A package proposed by House leadership includes collecting state tax on internet and mail order purchases to level the playing field with local businesses, a higher tax on large trucks crossing through New Mexico, increasing the excise tax on vehicle purchases (while still keeping the rate below our neighboring states of Arizona and Texas), and providing for uniform taxes on both non-profit and for- profit hospitals.

    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.

Registration must be done at least 28 days prior to an election, in person or by requesting a mail-in registration from the county Bureau of Elections. It is not necessary to register with a political party in order to vote. However, New Mexico is a “closed” primary state, meaning that you must be registered with a major political party (Democrat or Republican) in order to vote in that party’s primary election. Lack of a party designation does not prevent voters from participating in regular elections. Absentee and early voting is allowed for all voters, subject to specified time lines.
