Legislative update: MLG’s pro-election fraud bill filed, anti-gun bill postponed

On Tuesday, the House Consumer and Public Affairs Committee pushed consideration of the radical H.B. 68 by Rep. Meredith Dixon (D-Bernalillo) to another date, which angered many Republicans ready to testify against the extremist anti-gun bill that would criminalize people for merely carrying a gun — even just stowing the firearm in a car — within 1,000 feet of a school. This could impact countless law-abiding gun owners who merely live in the vicinity of a school.

Also on Tuesday, scandal-ridden alleged serial groper Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham announced that the Democrat majority leaders of the New Mexico House and Senate are co-sponsoring the Governor’s pro-election fraud bill, S.B. 8 to further remove security measures in New Mexico elections — turning them into third-world, fraud-ridden scandals that would make citizens lose all remaining hope in the state’s electoral system. Read the bill’s text here. THIS BILL IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THIS SESSION FOR THE GOP TO KILL. It is likely to be introduced during the Senate floor session at 12:00 noon on Wednesday. 

There are upcoming committee hearings on key legislation. Here are the bills on the calendar you need to know about so you can testify against them:

H.B. 33, the “Cigarette and Tabacco Products Tax” by Rep. Joanne Ferrary (D-Doña Ana)

The extreme bill that would increase the tax rate on all tobacco products regardless of source, including an excise tax of 20 cents per cigarette sold was referred to the House Health and Human Services Committee to then be considered by the House Taxation and Revenue Committee.

The Committee will consider the bill on Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. The Zoom details are below:
