350 Santa Fe Priority Climate & Energy Bills

Below find our list of legislative initiatives that our Legislative Action Team has identified as most deserving of our energies and efforts. We look forward to working with the many organizations that have also identified these as something worth pushing for.

The list includes issues and proposals that are expected to be or have been introduced as bills, memorandum or resolutions for the New Mexico 2021 long session. As details are determined and bills are filed, IDs assigned, and progressed through committees we plan to include their status below.

ID links go to the nmlegis.gov page for details on the legislation.

Current Location links go to the listed committee’s nmlegis.gov page where you can see their schedule and committee members. Locations are listed with the most recent at the top.

Hearings are generally scheduled for 9:00 am to noon and 1:00 pm to 4:30 pm. More information is available on the House and Senate calendars.

View the 2021 legislative committees membership and contact information as compiled by 350NM.

Actively supported legislation means one or more volunteers will at least be watching developments. For more information see the included links.

What You Can Do

You can contact the committee chair or members using their information accessible via the location links. You can watch the proceedings via the webcasts. You can give public comment in support as follows:

For the House: If you wish to give public comment, you should access the zoom link towards the top of the committee’s page (“Please click this link for public comment for …”) and use the “raise hand” function when asked about public comment for the bill you are wishing to speak about. It’s recommended to prepare your remarks ahead of time to deliver in about 30 sec, tho’ this time is not guaranteed.

For the Senate: To comment in Senate committees, you must email the address given on the committee page usually by 3 p.m. the day before the hearing with your name, the bill you want to speak on, and whether you are for or against a bill. You will be sent a Zoom link to use for public comment. However, the Senate is limiting the number of comments due to time concerns.  Note that the public webcast and Zoom sessions are not synchronized so you will have to silence or end your webcast before connecting via Zoom. It’s recommended to prepare your remarks ahead of time to deliver in about 2 min, tho’ this time is not guaranteed.

General webcasts are available for all hearings for anyone to monitor.

Please note that this information is often tentative and subject to change at short notice and may not keep up with fast paced developments.
