New Mexico Legislature Highs and Lows in Busy Week
The 32nd New Mexico Legislature faced a March 22 adjournment deadline amid shifts in policy. Key actions included: defeating Rep. Raymond Sanchez's environmental impact statement bill 36-27, killing 19-year drinking age changes in Senate, and advancing a half mill per kilowatt hour electricity tax credit proposal. House passed student dropout after junior high 40-23. Several cabinet and governance shakeups were outlined, with Gov. Apodaca reshaping commissions and planning office. Vietnam veterans tax exemption qualifications also updated.
