NMSSA Legislative Update 1/24
Today, on a party-line vote of 7-4, the Senate Rules Committee passed SB5, the polling place gun ban. Advocates and Senators voting for the bill did not describe any instances of people with guns interfering with anyone else's right to vote, they just said that since some people are "uncomfortable around guns" they need to restrict our right to carry one. The bill now heads to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Tomorrow, 1/25, the House Consumer and Public Affairs Committee will be hearing HB127, the under-21 gun ban, HB129, the house version of a 14 business day waiting period, and HB137, the semiautomatic rifle ban. The committee meeting is scheduled for 1:30pm in Room 317 (zoom link).
The Senate Health and Public Affairs Committee postponed hearing SB69, the senate version of a 14 business day waiting period bill, until Friday. They meet after the afternoon senate floor session in Room 311 (zoom link).
Both HB27, the red-flag law expansion, and HB114, the bill to make it easy to sue firearm industry members in New Mexico, are in the House Judiciary Committee. They could be heard there on Friday, but we will know by tomorrow and send an update.
