Local environmental oversight bill heads to New Mexico House Floor

Opponents contended the bill would create regulatory uncertainty by causing federal and state laws to contradict.
Senate Bill 8 sponsored by a group of Democrat senators and representatives was intended to alter language in state statutes that require any state environmental regulations by “no more’ stringent than federal requirements.
SB 8 was passed by the House Judiciary Committee on an 8-4 vote and could be heard next on the House Floor.
It would amend both the state’s Air Quality and Hazardous Waste acts to allow the state or local agencies to adopt stricter requirements under the laws for air or hazardous waste pollution. ....

New Mexico Wildlife Heritage Act Modernizes State Wildlife Management

The New Mexico Wildlife Heritage Act,
SB312, introduced by Sen. Jeff Steinborn and Rep. Nathan Small, both Las Cruces Democrats, would change the name of the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish to the Department of Wildlife Conservation.
The bill would expand the wildlife department’s mission to do more to address the needs of non-game species and update several provisions implementing better wildlife management practices. While a majority of states have structured their wildlife management under ‘wildlife departments’, New Mexico is one of only 11 states that still manages wildlife within a ‘game and fish’ structure.
“It’s been a century since the New Mexico Legislature created the first game commission in 1921,” Sen. Steinborn said. “Our state has grown significantly since then, and with the fourth highest biodiversity of any state in the country, New Mexico needs a more comprehensive approach to wildlife management. We need to update our laws t ....

Environmentalists hope Biden will reverse Trump policies

Itâs unlikely Trump met that target, but not for lack of effort.
His aggressive deregulation runs the gamut, reducing or slashing protections for water, air, climate, food and wildlife.
Industry has warmly welcomed Trump loosening rules it considered onerous. Conservationists have decried the rollbacks, with many labeling Trump the worst environmental president in history.
Many of Trumpâs rule changes were in the months leading up to the election, and several have been issued afterward, ensuring President-elect Joe Biden will have an immense task in undoing the policies if he chooses.
Some regulations will take time to change or reverse because they will require a full review process with public comment. ....
