2024 Legislative Recap: Which Bills Passed and Which Didn’t
This week on New Mexico in Focus, Correspondent Gwyneth Doland hosts a three-part discussion with two journalists recapping New Mexico’s 2024 legislative session. Gwyneth asks Shaun Griswold, editor of Source New Mexico, and Trip Jennings, executive director of New Mexico In Depth, about the approved state budget, which public education and public health bills passed, and the environmental and public health bills that didn’t pass in Santa Fe.
We head back to the Roundhouse one last time this session with Gwyneth, as she catches up with several lawmakers and policy advocates to talk about a wide range of influential issues, including a failed oil and gas regulation bill, increased funding for state roads and money set aside for health care.
Immigration reform advocates were shocked earlier this month when the state Senate rejected an asylum seekers’ detention bill. Sophia Genovese, an attorney with the New Mexico Immigrant Law Center, tells Executive Producer Jeff Proctor when she knew the bill’s life would be cut short.
