Credit Representative Jason Harper (R-Rio Rancho) LAS CRUCES - Members of the New Mexico Legislature recounted threats to their own personal safety Monday, March 8, in voting to support legislation that would make it illegal to protest outside a person’s home.
House Bill 223 would make it a misdemeanor to picket within 100 feet of the residence of the person being targeted. It passed the House Judiciary Committee on an 8-4 vote and is now eligible for a vote by the full House.
Sponsor Rep. Jason Harper, R-Rio Rancho, said the bill was motivated by an incident in his town. An elderly couple drew regular protests for flying a flag in their yard, he said. Those protesters then attracted counter-protesters, who showed up armed.

SANTA FE The state House endorsed legislation Thursday to reauthorize and expand a loan program for small businesses struggling amid the pandemic the final approval necessary to send the bill to Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham.
The measure, Senate Bill 3, would make an extra $460 million available for the loan program, on top of the $40 million already loaned last year.
The maximum loan to a business would be $150,000. Funding for the loans would come from the state’s Severance Tax Permanent Fund.
