Talking New Mexico Legislative Interim Committees – June 22 at 3 pm

New Mexico state legislators do not stop working after the regular session. Each legislator participates in one or more interim committees. Most committees start in late May or early June and go through late November or early December.

These committees are where the ideas and background for legislation start. So, it is important to keep up with what is happening in your interest area(s)

Join us to discuss how to observe, follow and participate in these committees. This will be a discussion and we welcome input and questions from others.

There are 3 main categories of interim committees:

Those with year-round staff like the Legislative Finance Committee and the Legislative Education Study Committee.

Issue Committees such as Legislative Health & Human Services and Water and Natural Resources. They only have staff during the interim

Oversight Committees such as Investment and Pension Oversight. They may or may not have full time staff.

You can see all of them here: Home - New Mexico Legislature and clicking on the Committee button.
