Description

New Mexico is blessed with rich cultural and sacred sites that are critical to preserving our unique heritage. Contrary to popular belief, establishing a site as a cultural property does not curtail access to minerals or ground resources, if extraction is done responsibly. All tools need to be available to ensure that New Mexico’s treasured sites are protected and preserved for generations to come. This measure (and its companion HB 422) would have jeopardized the designation of sites by imposing daunting obstacles to designation and revoking critical tools.

Outcome

SB421 died in the Senate Judiciary Committee. HB422 died in the House Judiciary Committee.
