Description
SB880 and its companion HB888 would have helped ensure that all communities in New Mexico are treated equally in decisions about where to locate pollution-causing industrial projects, regardless of their ethnic, socioeconomic, or cultural makeup.
Outcome
SB880 died in the Senate. After HB888 died in the House, Rep. Miguel Garcia elected to introduce a memorial (HM97) which requests the Environment Department to study how to effectively address the cumulative and social impacts of its decisions. HM97 passed the House (45-17).
