[LWVNM Action] 2026 chaptered legislation

[Rebecca Álvarez]

 Hi Judy!
Chaptered legislation is when it has been signed into law and will be assigned a chapter number by the NM Secretary of State.
I just drafted some interim licensing standards which will then be made into regulations in the CA Health and Safety code for a piece of chaptered legislation about emergency/disaster procedures for senior care facilities. It's an involved process, but I hope to be back in New Mexico soon. Maybe we can get lunch!

I think the word "chaptered" probably relates to being incorporated into a chapter of the NM legal code. But that's just a guess; I've never found anything on nmlegis or elsewhere that explains the term.
