The 2021 New Mexico
legislative session concluded
Saturday. Legislators passed
important policies that bring
climate solutions to communities
grappling with the worst impacts
and more tools for regulators to
protect our health from
pollution.
Our top priority this
session was to support efforts
to increase critical funding
to our energy, environment
departments. Thanks to
faithful advocacy by folks
like you, a broad coalition of
environmental organizations,
and committed legislators – we
were successful!
There’s more work to be done,
but together, we made progress.
Read all the details in the
coalition’s press
release.
Called “revolutionary” during a
legislative committee hearing,
Sustainable Economy Task Force
(SB 112) represents a
significant shift in how our
state will address economic
diversification by focusing
efforts on sustainable sources
of income and economic growth. In
other words, SB 112 is a step
off of the “boom and bust”
budget roller coaster toward a
more sustainable and equitable
economy.
Now SB 112 and the rest
of the wins on the Legislative
Scoreboard are headed to
Governor Michelle Lujan
Grisham for her signature and
veto. Ensure Governor Lujan
Grisham knows you support SB
112 and the other critical
bills that the Legislature
passed to act on climate and
protect our health!
