2-4-22 Alert

Good Morning New Mexico Activists:

Some good news: HJR 2 Environmental Rights (aka Green Amendment) has been resurrected! See the Saturday hearing info below. But first, the Senate Committee Schedule was updated at 7:30 last night and a new committee hearing was added this afternoon. To get info on three other hearings today and the new Hydrogen Hub bill to be heard on Tuesday, see yesterday’s Alert at this link.

NEW! Fri., Feb. 4, 1:30 p.m. (or ½ hr. after floor session ends), Rm. 321, Senate Judiciary is scheduled to hear SB 43 Prohibiting Life Without Parole for a Child (aka Second Chance). This bill would end life sentences for minors and give youth who’ve been sentenced as adults a second chance. Please read the talking points at the link above and call and email committee members right away to ask them to support this bill. We also encourage you to join the Zoom and offer public comment in support.

NEW! Sat., Feb. 5, 9 a.m., Rm. 317, House Energy, Environment & Natural Resources is scheduled to hear an amended version of HJR 2 Environmental Rights. After HJR 2 was tabled in this same committee last week, Chair Matthew McQueen felt that the bill would never make it through the Senate, so he worked with bill sponsors on amendments to some of the language. The basic idea of ensuring the right to a clean and healthy environment remains the same. Please read the talking points and call and write to committee members today to support the bill. We encourage you to join the Zoom and offer public comment in support of this bill.
