Today at the Roundhouse, Feb. 20
The 60-day session has reached its halfway point, and Thursday marks the final day to introduce bills. Days are getting longer, with both House and Senate committees running well past sunset Wednesday. Here are a few things to watch out for on Thursday, Feb. 20.
Housing: A bill to strengthen protections against discrimination for renters and homebuyers is expected to be heard in the House Consumer and Public Affairs Committee.
Water: A few water measures are in the House Agriculture, Acequias and Water Resources Committee, including the Reclaimed Water Act and funds for water security planning.
Football Monday: Senate Bill 339 would make the second Monday of February a new public holiday: Football Monday. The bill goes before the Senate Indian, Rural and Cultural Affairs Committee in the morning.
West Side Day: It’s officially West Side Day at the Roundhouse — of Albuquerque, that is, not all of New Mexico. It’s also Mora County Day at the Legislature, and the Sierra Club’s Rio Grande chapter will be celebrating Land, Water and Wildlife Day at the Capitol.
