"Official" History

This is the official nmlegis action history. I'm doing my best to translate the LONG/WEIRD-STRING to something less gibberishy. And before you ask, no, the "Legis Day" number has no mapping to the real world.

     SECTION 1. Section 30-46-1 NMSA 1978 (being Laws 1989, Chapter 142, Section 1) is amended to read:
