[LWVNM Action] Action Zoom meeting - should we move it to Thursday

[Meredith Machen]

Today's SJC's revised agenda has SB250 on the agenda and is being heard
now. (SB 250 prohibits use of state and local funds for law enforcement
assistance with mass deportation and immigration enforcement.)  Sen.
Stewart is a firm advocate. HB9 Immigrant Safety Act has passed the House
floor, 35-25.


Education bills, including SJR15 State School Board, are proceeding nicely.


This morning in SFC, HB11 PFML was dissected in detail by committee members
with SFC analysts answering questions. Sens. Padilla and Steinborn
vigorously objected to the process because the  sponsors were not present,
and they had not even been invited. Many concerns about the source of
funding for the "Welcome baby fund," which proposes paying a new eligible
parent $3000/mo for 3 months. Sen. Padilla made it clear that he will
oppose having any funds come out of the Early Childhood Trust Fund (and I
know that NM Voices for Children and the governor would also be opposed if
that were identified/proposed as a source.)  We supported the original
HB11, which was totally revamped without Sen. Stewart's knowledge or input
from the PFML Coalition. I doubt that it will get to the governor's desk.

Other bills that are exciting, important, and moving along are the Health
Care Compacts.

I'm in an LWVNM-EF meeting until 6 and wanting to observe SJC, so I am
signing off now.
