SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico’s Democratic governor on Wednesday announced a mid-summer special legislative session on public safety after many crime initiatives languished.
In an emailed statement, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham said she’ll call legislators back to Santa Fe on July 18 “to finish what they started during the 30-day legislative session.”
The Legislature delivered on a handful of the governor’s major priorities during a regular 30-day legislative session in January and February, but a long list of other gun control and public safety bills stalled without floor votes.
Lujan Grisham recently signed public safety bills that ban some guns at voting locations, extend a waiting period on gun purchases to seven days, enhance penalties for second-degree murder-related offenses and give judges an extra opportunity to deny bail to defendants who are charged with new crimes while already awaiting trial on a felony.
