The governorâs veto pen caused some disappointment and ire in Valencia County last week, but that isnât stopping the push forward for a local health care facility.
On Friday, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham vetoed House Bill 240, which would have changed language in the stateâs Hospital Funding Act to allow a 24-hour emergency health care facility be licensed as a remote location of an acute care hospital.
In her executive message for the veto, Lujan Grisham wrote the funds described in HB 240 were part of a property tax previously approved by Valencia County voters with the understanding that the funds would be used for specific projects.
Volunteer fire departments across New Mexico have access to 100 percent of the available money in the Fire Protection Fund after Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham signed a bill protecting funds for fire equipment.
Lujan Grisham signed Senate Bill 256 (SB 256) on April 7 after it passed with no opposition in March in the 2021 New Mexico Legislative Session.
Before the bill, state law required that most capital in the Fire Protection Fund revert back to the General Fund. In Fiscal Year 2021 about $13 million in funding reverted to the general fund, read a news release from Lujan Grisham’s office.
Sen. William Burt (R-33) and Rep. Gail Armstrong (D-17) sponsored the legislation, which was supported by a bipartisan coalition, legislators and community leaders, per the release.
