Description

New Mexicans face a number of barriers to getting actively involved in public policy. HB35 would have addressed one such obstacle by amending the Open Meetings Act to require that agendas for public meetings be available 72 hours in advance, except in the case of emergencies.

Outcome

HB35 passed the House (57-9), but died on the Senate floor calendar.
