The 2020 New Mexico Legislative Session begins Jan. 21 in Santa Fe and continues for 30 days, ending Feb. 20. Since it is a short session with legislation limited to budget matters, memorials, resolutions, issues receiving attention from the governor, and bills that were vetoed, there will be less action than in the 2019 session.
However, crucial matters will be addressed.
On League Day Feb. 6 in the Roundhouse, the state will celebrate the 100th birthday of both the League and the 19th Amendment that gave women the right to vote. No need to be a League member to participate. Visit the LWVNM website for details.
