 Wow, that one certainly  meets the definition of omnibus bills!  Hodge-podge, mess, lots of terms fit here.  Who dreamed this one up?  Judy

HB593, the dummy bill Dick mentioned at the Action meeting last night, was tabled in HHHC this morning, mostly because of the medical malpractice parts. 

It was a catch-all bill combining a lot of the various medical bills already filed, like loan repayment tax credits, cost studies and medical malpractice changes.

Many people spoke against it because of the caps on malpractice awards, and ultimately it was tabled, mostly for that reason. (I didn't speak for the League, having not seen any details on the bill prior to the committee meeting.)

The committee sub, which was adopted before the bill was tabled, is https://www.nmlegis.gov/Sessions/25%20Regular/bills/house/HB0593HCS.pdf if anyone wants to read it.
