House Democrats News:
SANTA FE — Today at 2 p.m., House Bill 20 – the Healthy Workplaces Act and House Bill 37 – the Paid Sick Leave Act, will be heard in the House Labor, Veterans’ and Military Affairs Committee.
More than 3,000 New Mexicans have died of COVID-19, yet almost half of the state’s workforce still cannot take paid time off when they are ill.
