No decision by House committee, yet, on cannabis legalization


February 14, 2021
The push for cannabis legalization by some New Mexico lawmakers continues to be a steady, yet slow, effort. 
The House Health and Human Services Committee on Saturday heard comments from members of the public as well as questions and concerns from three Republican representatives regarding cannabis legalization bills HB 12 and HB 17. But the committee did not vote on either bill and will return on Monday to consider additional amendments and decide whether one, both or neither bill will go on to the next committee. 
Rep. Tara Lujan, D-Santa Fe is the lead sponsor of HB 17. 
Lujan said that, while this is her first year as a legislator, she has watched the push for legalization closely.  ....

Bill to keep Native children within their community receives bipartisan support


February 8, 2021
A bill to keep Native children within their tribe or pueblo when the state separates them from their parents passed the House State Government and Indian Affairs Committee unanimously on Monday.
Sponsored by state Rep. Georgene Louis, D-Albuquerque and of the Acoma Pueblo, HB 209 has overwhelming support from various organizations and Tribal and pueblo governments in the state. 
If it becomes law, the bill would codify the federal Indian Child Welfare Act, which was passed in the 1970s but is poorly enforced, according to experts. The bill would guide the state Children, Youth and Families Department to notify tribes and pueblos when a child removal occurs and to work with the Tribal community to place a Native child with extended family or friends or foster families within their own sovereign nation. ....
