About This Site

First of all, this is in no way affiliated with nmlegis.gov. That is the official New Mexico Legislature web site. I just happen to think that it's a little hard to navigate at times, so in 2017 I wrote something that I think is easier. And then in 2025 I rewrote much of it.

If you like this, please use it to engage with your legislators. That's what I care about. If you think others would find this useful, please spread the word.

Change History

• Mar 5
  • add "[view on nmlegis.gov]" links to committees, legislators, other places.
  • fixed weird bug where some active (scheduled) bills were being shown in gray (inactive).
  • new Half-Passed page, for showing bills passing only one chamber so far.
• Mar 4
  • committee pages: vote reports: repeat headings every 15 rows; otherwise the table gets too long and requires scrolling up and down to figure out names.
• Mar 3
  • legislator pages: now show daily schedules (committees where they sit, and committee hearings for bills they sponsor and for which they might be called to testify).
  • search: now indexes bill BLURBS! The "AN ACT TO BLAH BLAH" text that is not actually part of the title
  • search: now redirects to committee or legislator when given an abbreviation.
• Feb 27
  • fix nasty bug in new-user registration.
  • new Bills Pending (awaiting Governor's signature)
  • Legislators navigation element: when logged in, menu now lists shortcuts to your Representative and Senator
  • Bill pages: display floor votes
• Feb 23
  • tracker pages - collapse hearing schedules. Show only the bills on this tracker, not the entire list. Also show agenda sequence number. Tracker pages are now much more readable.
  • along those lines, in agenda tables, the committee link now goes to that specific calendar instead of just to the page.
  • bill pages - highlight party of dissenting votes. In individual bill pages (the ones showing bill text), in the committee vote record lines, highlight the party of nay votes.
  • committee schedule page - remove House and Senate floor agendas. They're just too unwieldy. Show them in their individual pages instead.
  • bill/legislator/committee update tables - hide under accordion expander. Most people won't care about this.
• Feb 22
  • this About page
  • User-editable categories in tracker pages.
  • new URL field in trackers, useful for public trackers (LWV, AAUW).
  • added Somos tracker.
  • legislator pages now list Bills Introduced and Bills Cosponsored.
• Feb 21
  • Much better handling of Committee Substitutions. This is a big one. Bill pages now display the most recent committee sub, with links to prior ones (if any). In bill rows, the expected "CS/" is now there.
  • Much better handling of Committee Reports. I now link to the original report, and parse it better.
• Feb 20
  • cleanup, getting ready for announcing to friends.
• Feb 19
  • handle two-hearings-in-one-day, such as SFC.
  • too much other cleanup and fixes to list.
• Feb 5
  • Started this rewrite of the web UI.

This site pulls data from nmlegis.gov but is in no way associated with that site or the state of New Mexico. It's just a labor of love by Ed.
