Good Evening New Mexico Activists:

What a day we have on Friday! HB 6 Clean Future Act, HJR 2 Green Amendment, HB 228 (Hydrogen Hub), and HB 37 Energy Efficiency Block Grants are all scheduled for hearings. Here are the details.

Fri., Feb. 11, 8:30 am, Rm. 305, House Govt., Elections & Indian Affairs is scheduled to hear HB 6 Clean Future Act. We originally opposed this bill, but after several amendments were made we are now cautiously in support. Some important amendments are still needed. Please read the talking points at the link above and, if you haven’t yet, please email and call committee members ASAP and tell them you support the bill but urge them to make additional amendments, which are outlined in the link above. We encourage you to join the hearing Zoom and offer public comment (in particular about needed amendments), take the on-screen poll, and express your support.
