I have sat in virtually in committees with the same situation.  THX for the response about I haven't seen the amendment and therefore have not reviewed it.

I'm sitting in HHHS (virtually) listening to someone go over a committee substitute that sounds like it completely rewrites the bill. Of course, the bill's page on the nmlegis website has no links to this substitute.

How do you experienced lobbyists deal with this? What the presenter is saying about the substitute sounds good, but should I be advocating in the League's name for a bill the public hasn't had a chance to read? Does it make sense to say "The League supports the original bill, but we haven't been given an opportunity to read the substitute"?

That is the right response. It highlights the issue of amendments being
introduced without public notice.
Sometimes amendments are just technical changes, but sometimes are
substantial.
