[Awclist] Navigability at Issue in Legislature?

[R/C Southwick]

Celia posted this on her FB page and the AWC of NM FBpage after getting the
Awclist from Steve Harris - used the list of Sen conservation members that
the GCC had on the post just below.

Subject: [Awclist] Navigability at Issue in Legislature?

 

Of importance to boaters and stream anglers: SB 226- which would restrict
the recreational use of "private waters" in NM and allow the State Game
Commission to determine what waters are navigable- will be heard today in
the Senate Conservation Committee, starting around 2:00 pm.  An amendment
will be offered by sponsor, Richard Martinez, which attempt to resolve
issues raised by OSE, NMAG and myself.  I cannot attend, but will continue
to follow its progress.

 

Since there are lots of legal issues involved in this legislation, I expect
that this bill (and its companion HB 235) will be in for a closer hearings
in the Judiciary Committees.  It is set in House Judiciary on February 23.

 

If you have not read the bill and would like to:
