"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.

This table shows bill actions detected on Ed's system, using heuristics that may not be 100% accurate and which may not reflect the "official" nmlegis chronology. It is probably more than you care to know.

     WHEREAS, certified water and wastewater operators conduct operations and provide services that are essential to the continued operation of critical infrastructure;

     NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO that the legislature support legislation to elevate certified water and wastewater operators to essential workers and fund a study to add certified water and wastewater operators to state health insurance and retirement benefit programs; and

     BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this memorial be transmitted to the members of the legislature.
