ENVIRONMENTAL RIGHTS, CA - SJR 3 - Strong Support
Antoinette Sedillo Lopez William Soules Joanne J. Ferrary Harold Pope, Jr. |
ENVIRONMENTAL DATABASE ACT HB 51 - Strong Support
Costs VERY little since this is just putting already collected information. Line item in HB2 for $ to UNM. Need to watch any for O/G amendments |
BROADBAND ACCESS & EXPANSION ACT SB 93
Michael Padilla - ok, Humanizing the transition. Actually can be a positive effect because remote meetings keep people from needing to travel for as much. Also opens door to better education. Haven't looked at details yet. |
ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING UNIT CREDIT SB 58
Bill Tallman...hmmm, Of course I like the tax credit for EVs, but not hybrids...too late. ALL new needs to be ALL electric ..DON'T like the road tax amts. Should be related to mileage and weight. Don't need charger tax credit except to add more things for electricians to do. |
SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY TASK FORCE SB 112
Mimi Stewart....meh, from a business woman view to try to dictate economics via a state organization just begs for foot dragging and meaningless "progress". Sorry Tom, not sure this will do any more good than the numerous "economic development" groups already around. Convince me. |
PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEMS IN NEW PUBLIC SCHOOLS SB 63
William Soules...meh, how many new schools will we be building and electricity is already clean. Get rid of gas heating! |
WIRING FOR PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM SB 113
William Soules...ehh, again, electricity is already clean...get rid of gas heating! |
PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEMS IN NEW HOMES SB 132
William Soules....ehh, not worth my time and effort because electricity is already clean and ETA making it truly clean. |

BROADBAND DEVELOPMENT DIVISION HB 10
Natalie Figueroa Joy Garratt - HTPWC/HAFC Teacher created and teacher approved --- includes accountability and inclusion - Look also at SB93 for a mashup |
CLEAN ELECTRIFICATION ACT HB 137
Nathan P. Small - Addressing municipal as well. Seems to set up a carbon market...still needs full reading. Check out the FIR under "Analysis" button. The additional effort to electrify low income houses seems a great "Just Transition." One addressed problem: linear annual changes..HB137 allows tri-annual steps. PNM is so far ahead that in the emissions beginning in 2023 that they should have NO problem. Excel still evaluating. Carbon credits for electrifying transportation interests Co-ops, but concerned about no off-ramps for co-ops as in ETA. |
BROADBAND ACCESS & EXPANSION ACT SB 93 -PRO
Michael Padilla --- Senate Taxation, Business and Transportation/ SFC ---Humanizing the transition. Actually can be a positive effect because remote meetings keep people from needing to travel for as much. Also opens door to better education. |

Passed HSGEI - Costs VERY little since this is just putting already collected information. Line item in HB2 for $ to UNM |
