Legislative update: Tuesday hearings for 15-round ammo ban, CRT in state agencies

On Monday, the House Government, Elections, and Indian Affairs Committee advanced state Rep. Stefani Lord’s (R-Sandia Park) H.J.R. 12 to allow recall of public officials in the legislative and executive branches by a vote of 3-2, with Rep. Daymon Ely (D-Corrales) joining Republicans on the committee in support of the measure. It now heads to House Judiciary Committee.

There are multiple bills you need to be aware of to take action on today:

H.B. 126, STATE PERSONNEL DIVERSITY ACT by Reps. Pamelya Herndon (D-Bernalillo) and Tara Lujan (D-Santa Fe).

This bill would implement Critical Race Theory into state agencies, which mandates the “Chief Diversity Officer” of the state to “lead the development and implementation of proactive diversity, equality, equity and inclusion initiatives in support of the state’s strategic plan to create a culture of diversity, equality, equity and inclusion pursuant to Section 6 of the Diversity Act.”

Here are some definitions, as written in the Critical Race Theory bill: 

D. “diversity” means the practice of including or involving people from a range of different racial or ethnic backgrounds and may also include persons of every background, gender, race, sexual orientation, age and disability; 

E. “equality” means the equivalent treatment of and opportunity for members of different groups within society regardless of individual distinctions of race, ethnicity, gender, age, social class, sexual orientation or other characteristics or circumstances; 

F. “equity” means the consistent and systematic fair, just and impartial treatment of all people, including people who belong to underserved communities; 

G. “gender identity” means the gender-related identity, appearance, mannerisms or other gender-related characteristics of a person, regardless of the person’s designated sex at birth; 

H. “inclusion” means the process of creating a working culture and environment that recognizes, appreciates and effectively utilizes the talents, skills and perspectives of every state employee; uses state employee skills to achieve a state agency’s objectives and mission; connects each state employee to the organization; and encourages collaboration, flexibility and fairness in the workplace; 

I. “inequities” means disparities in physical health, mental health, economic opportunities, education or social factors; 

J. “institutional racism” means actions that result in differential access to the goods, services and opportunities of society due to the existence of institutional programs, policies and practices that intentionally or unintentionally place certain racial and ethnic groups at a disadvantage in relation to other groups; 

The bill will be heard Tuesday, February 1, 2022 – 1:30 p.m. or 15 minutes after floor session in the House Labor, Veterans, and Military Affairs Committee. The meeting details are below:

H.B. 91, PROHIBIT CRITICAL RACE THEORY TEACHING , by Reps. Rebecca Dow (R-Truth or Consequences) and Luis Terrazas (R-Silver City)

This bill, as it says in the title, will ban Critical Race Theory from schools in New Mexico. This comes after every single Republican and Democrat senator and representative voted for the “Black Education Act” by disgraced former Rep. Sheryl Williams Stapleton (D-Bernalillo), which added CRT to New Mexico classrooms. Many classrooms already have CRT in one form or another.

  1. H.B. 156 ? No grandfather clause, UN- Constitutional, (No EX Post Facto Laws) this translates to No law can be retroactive, you can’t pass laws that go back in time making people criminals, The US Federal ban on Magazines over 10 rounds, in the 1990s, was a ban on manufacturing, after the date of ratification. Simply put this proposed law violates the Supreme law of the land!

  2. ATTENTION PEOPLE ! the definition of Theory, a supposition, based on OPINION lacking facts! OR in this case Dogma, Doctrine, or belief, OPINION! NOT factual, history. this is a belief system, designed to DIVIDE the people Just like the NASDAP (aka NAZIS) did !

  3. NO Grandfather Clause ???????? UN- Constitutional, end of story look up the US Constitution (No ex- post facto Laws) End of story, that won’t stop them, but this is a forgone conclusion if challenged. In short it is unconstitutional to create laws that are retroactive! The federal Ban in the 1990s (revoked) limited magazines to 10 rounds, SO, all the people who owned them before the date of ratification, were grandfathered in. After the date, no magazines over 10 rounds could be manufactured! NO EX-POST FACTO LAWS !

  4. This was considered germane simply for attaching appropriations to it, but the bill doesn’t specify how the $1.5M will be spent – just a generic “implementing this law”. And can they stop saying “large capacity”? It’s standard capacity for the guns it intents to impact. Why aren’t more people upset about this bill???? It does NOTHING to solve the pervasive crime problem, in fact, it creates more crime by making felons out of otherwise law-abiding gun owners. Bunch of GD BS. They should be pushing to legalize constitutional carry if they want to reduce crime. If they want to reduce suicides, I don’t know, invest in mental health or something. Stop punishing the many for the actions of the few.
