SANTA FE New Mexico legislators have adopted legislation empowering the state Environment Department to deny or revoke air-quality permits from companies that lie on their applications or have been convicted of environmental crimes in other states.
The Senate endorsed the proposal on a 23-15 vote Tuesday, about 11 days after it passed the House.
The legislation, House Bill 76, sponsored by Democratic Reps. Christine Chandler of Los Alamos and Linda Serrato of Santa Fe, now goes to the governor.
