Today at the Roundhouse, Feb. 25
As legislators lengthen their afternoon floor sessions in hopes of fending off evening sessions for a little longer, you can expect longer days at the Roundhouse. Here are a few things to watch out for on Tuesday, Feb. 25:
Victim protections: The House Consumer and Public Affairs Committee in the afternoon will hear House Bill 190, which would amend the Victims of Crime Act to add more victims’ protections.
Workforce reentry: House Bill 419, a bipartisan effort seeking $13.5 million so the North Central New Mexico Economic Development District can expand a correctional reentry workforce development program, is on the House Rural Development, Land Grants and Cultural Affairs Committee’s schedule.
Official state vehicle & winter song: Two bills seek to implement new state symbols. Senate Bill 498 would make the lowrider the official state vehicle. Senate Bill 379 would make “Gracias New Mexico,” written by Carol J. Mayberry-Sanchez, the state winter holiday song.
Grab your notebooks: It’s Higher Education Day at the Roundhouse, with more than two dozen New Mexico colleges, universities and other education partners available to share information on degree and certificate programs, as well as scholarships.
