To facilitate the development of the Voter Guide, NMSAE created an online candidate questionnaire that asks a series of questions designed to educate associations about the candidates. NMSAE does not support, oppose, or make recommendations regarding any political party or candidate.

  • Committee Handbook New Mexico Legislature

    Committee Handbook New Mexico Legislature

    COMMITTEE HANDBOOK for the NEW MEXICO LEGISLATURE New Mexico Legislative Council Service Santa Fe, New Mexico 2012 REVISION prepared by: The New Mexico Legislative Council Service 411 State Capitol Santa Fe, New Mexico 87501 (505) 986-4600 www.nmlegis.gov 202.190198 PREFACE Someone once defined a committee as a collection of people who individually believe that something must be done and who collectively decide that nothing can be done. Whether or not this definition has merit, it is difficult to imagine the work of a legislative body being accomplished without reliance upon the committee system. Every session, American legislative bodies are faced with thousands of bills, resolutions and memorials upon which to act. Meaningful deliberation on each of these measures by the entire legislative body is not possible. Therefore, the job must be broken up and distributed among the "miniature legislatures" called standing or substantive committees. In New Mexico, where the constitution confines legislative action to a specified number of calendar days, the work of such committees assumes even greater importance. Because the role of committees is vital to the legislative process, it is necessary for their efficient operation that individual members of the senate and house and their staffs understand committee functioning and procedure, as well as their own roles on the committees. For this reason, the legislative council service published in 1963 the first Committee Handbook for New Mexico legislators. This publication is the sixth revision of that document. i The Committee Handbook is intended to be used as a guide and working tool for committee chairs, vice chairs, members and staff.

  • Prayer Practices

    Prayer Practices

    Floor Action 5-145 Prayer Practices Legislatures operate with a certain element of pomp, ceremony and procedure that flavor the institution with a unique air of tradition and theatre. The mystique of the opening ceremonies and rituals help to bring order and dignity to the proceedings. One of these opening ceremonies is the offering of a prayer. Use of legislative prayer. The practice of opening legislative sessions with prayer is long- standing. The custom draws its roots from both houses of the British Parliament, which, according to noted parliamentarian Luther Cushing, from time ”immemorial” began each day with a “reading of the prayers.” In the United States, this custom has continued without interruption at the federal level since the first Congress under the Constitution (1789) and for more than a century in many states. Almost all state legislatures still use an opening prayer as part of their tradition and procedure (see table 02-5.50). In the Massachusetts Senate, a prayer is offered at the beginning of floor sessions for special occasions. Although the use of an opening prayer is standard practice, the timing of when the prayer occurs varies (see table 02-5.51). In the majority of legislative bodies, the prayer is offered after the floor session is called to order, but before the opening roll call is taken. Prayers sometimes are given before floor sessions are officially called to order; this is true in the Colorado House, Nebraska Senate and Ohio House. Many chambers vary on who delivers the prayer. Forty-seven chambers allow people other than the designated legislative chaplain or a visiting chaplain to offer the opening prayer (see table 02-5.52).

    Action Alert Tell the Senate Rules Committee You Want Them to Support Your Right to Clean Air, Pure Water, a Stable Climate & Healthy Environments Vote “Yes” on SJR 3 SJR 3 Environmental Rights Act -- AKA The New Mexico Green Amendment -- proposes to amend our New Mexico Bill of Rights to include an enforceable right of all people, including future generations, to clean air, pure water, a stable climate and healthy environments. In addition, the proposed amendment will: ➔ ensure government is focused on prevention of pollution and degradation throughout decisionmaking. ➔ provide protection for the cultural indigenous values of our environment, and will recognize the essential health protections that are provided by clean water and air, healthy soils and ecosystems. ➔ provide a powerful tool for strengthening environmental justice by ensuring the environmental rights of all people – regardless of race, ethnicity, wealth, address, or generation – are protected equitably across the state. ➔ ensure all government officials respect and protect our environmental rights including the legislators, governor, town councils and regulatory agencies. ➔ give residents legal redress to secure restoration of their environmental rights if they are infringed upon by government action. For this amendment to pass it needs to receive early support from the Senate Rules Committee, after which it will proceed to the Senate Judiciary Committee for consideration and a vote. Please join us in telling the Senate Rules Committee to hold a hearing and vote “yes” on SJR3, the New Mexico Green Amendment. Reach out to the Rules Committee by phone or email.

The previous report included as its main focus a survey conducted by the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) to other states that asked a variety of questions on electronic voting both in terms of equipment and legislative procedures. For purposes of this update, LSO again reached out to Ms. Brenda Erickson, a staff specialist knowledgeable in the areas of electronic voting and voting process and procedure from NCSL, to again conduct a survey related to process and procedure of other states related to electronic voting. Before engaging in a discussion of electronic voting systems, it is important to recognize that electronic voting systems are tools for facilitating legislative business. These systems are subject to legislative rules, processes and procedures. It is the implementation, and subsequent enforcement, of legislative rules and procedures related to voting process, not just the systems technology, which create accountability in the process.
