14 54th Legislature, Second Session (30 Days) • 2020 Legislative Almanac

How to Pass a Bill in New Mexico

Legislative Session on the Web

Each legislature lasts two years and has two constitutionally-mandated sessions. The fi rst session lasts for 60 calendar days and occurs in odd-numbered years, convening in January. The second session is for 30 calendar days and occurs in even-numbered years. Bills in the second session are limited to fi scal matters, items specifi ed by the governor and bills passed in the previous session that were vetoed by the governor. The governor can call a special session, as can the legislature with a three-fi fths vote of both the Senate and House of Representatives. Members of the Senate are elected to four-year terms without term limits. Members of the House of Representatives are elected to two-year limits without term limits.

Bill IntroductionRegardless of how the legislature is convened, all bills follow the same path through the legislature. Any bill can be introduced in the Senate or House of Representatives—unlike the United States Congress, where only the House can introduce tax bills. The bill is assigned a number, read twice, printed, and referred to the proper committee.

Committee ReviewsEach bill is reviewed by one or more committees in the Senate and House of Representatives. The committees can approve the bill, amend it, substitute it, forward it to the next committee with no recommendation, or kill the bill by tabling it. Committee hearings are open to the public.

If a bill passes its committee hearings, it will be considered by the Senate or House of Representatives where it was introduced. The bill is placed on their calendar, which means it is formally scheduled for its third reading, and a fi nal vote.

The Final VoteIf it passes, the bill moves to either the Senate or House of Representatives and repeats the entire process. If approved in the same form, it goes to the governor to be signed or vetoed. If the Senate or House of Representatives passes a diff erent bill, they form a conference committee to work on a compromise. If the committee agrees on a compromise, the bill goes back to the Senate or House of Representatives for a fi nal vote.

To the Governor’s DeskBills that pass both the Senate and House of Representatives go to the governor to be signed or vetoed. They are formally prepared by either the Senate or House of Representatives where they originated, signed by the speaker of the House of Representatives and the president pro tempore of the Senate, and forwarded to the governor. The governor can sign the bill, making it law, veto it, or line-item veto it, if the bill contains an appropriation.

If the governor doesn’t sign or veto a bill within three days—and if the legislature is still in session—it becomes law. If the legislature has adjourned, the governor has 20 days to sign bills. Unsigned bills are pocket vetoes.

The legislature can override the governor’s veto with a two-thirds vote by the Senate or House of Representatives.

When a Signed Bill becomes LawSigned bills typically become law 90 days after the legislature adjourns. However, the legislature can specify an emergency, which makes the bill eff ective when the governor signs it, or at a later date for the law to go into eff ect.

You can track and read bills, follow committee activities and keep abreast of the daily calendar at the legislature’s website: www.nmlegis.gov

Compliments of New Mexico’s Rural Electric Cooperatives 15

New Mexico’s rural electric distribution cooperatives and generation and transmission cooperatives provide electric power to percent of the land area and to percent

of New Mexicans. These New Mexican families and businesses own their electric cooperatives. They control the co-op’s bylaws, vote on any signifi cant changes in operations and elect trustees to direct co-op activities. Their cooperatives provide service to Chama in the north to the oil fi elds of the Permian Basin in the southeast; to the northeastern grasslands to the Bootheel desert.

There are electric distribution cooperatives in New Mexico, of which are members of the New Mexico Rural Electric Cooperative Association. The members have invested over $. billion to provide reliable electric service to their members. They employ over New Mexicans as linemen, customer service representatives, engineers, warehouse operators, and other positions.

The cooperatives are active in promoting and providing renewable energy resources and energy effi cient rebate programs for consumer-members. They also off er a green power program to consumer-members who have the opportunity to purchase renewable energy.

The cooperatives strongly support their communities. They collectively operate one of the largest non-governmental scholarship programs in New Mexico. For example, the electric co-ops have provided over $ million in higher educational scholarships to more than , New Mexico students over the past years. They sponsor youth programs such as the Government-in-Action Youth Tour and provide safety training in local schools.

Ten of the member distribution cooperatives receive wholesale power from Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association headquartered in Westminster, Colorado. Four are members of Western Farmers Electric Cooperative headquartered in Anadarko, Oklahoma.

There are also three distribution cooperatives that are associate members of the New Mexico Rural Electric Cooperative Association. They are Duncan Valley Electric, Duncan, Arizona; Navopache Electric, Lakeside, Arizona; and Rio Grande Electric, Brackettville, Texas.

New Mexico’s rural electric cooperatives, who are members of the New Mexico Rural Electric Cooperative Association, protect the interests of their consumer-members through their statewide association headquartered in Santa Fe.

The Seven Cooperative PrinciplesCooperatives around the world operate according to the same set of core principles and values, adopted by the International Cooperative Alliance. Cooperatives trace the roots of these principles to the fi rst modern cooperative founded in Rochdale, England in . These principles are a key reason America’s electric cooperatives operate diff erently from other electric utilities, putting the needs of their members fi rst.

1. Voluntary and Open Membership: Co-op membership is open to anyone able to use its services.

2. Democratic Member Control: Co-ops elect their leaders, who collectively make decisions.

3. Members’ Economic Participation: Members contribute fi nancially to their cooperative.

4. Autonomy and Independence: Cooperatives are autonomous, and any agreements must maintain their independence.

5. Education, Training, and Information: Cooperatives educate and train their members and employees.

6. Cooperation Among Cooperatives: Cooperatives work together to benefi t all co-op members.

7. Concern for Community: Cooperatives are committed to improving the communities they call home.

Energy Effi ciency ProgramsElectric cooperatives provide fi nancial rebates to encourage consumer-members to be more energy effi cient. • Rebates are provided to eligible consumer-members

who purchase energy effi cient lighting fi xtures; and energy effi cient appliances, such as electric water heaters, refrigerators, and geothermal ground source heat pumps.

• Electric cooperatives also provide fi nancial incentives for new construction, and to consumer-members who retrofi t their existing homes or businesses with energy effi cient

items, such as lighting projects, geothermal ground source heat pumps, and heating and cooling systems.

• The cooperatives off er free energy audits to consumer-members to identify ways to make their homes or businesses more energy effi cient.

• Electric cooperatives also off er a green power program to consumer-members who have the opportunity to purchase renewable energy.
