Death Penalty Repeal Bill at SJC Friday

From the NM Coalition to Repeal the Death Penalty:

Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing Confirmed
Friday, March 11th - Room 321 - Late Afternoon or Evening

HB 576 Abolish the Death Penalty will be heard first on the agenda of Senate Judiciary this Friday. The Committee will meet directly following the day's Senate floor agenda. While we cannot give an exact estimate of when the hearing will begin, it will be no earlier than 5:00 PM and possibly as late as 8:00 or 9:00 PM.

Out of respect for the Senators' time and busy schedules this late in the session, we will be limiting testimony to five witnesses. As always, however, public support is important. Please join us!

To confirm the time of the Committee hearing, please contact Senate Majority Leader, Michael Sanchez's, office at 986-4727 beginning at 5:00 pm. Ask the secretary what time the Senators will adjourn from the floor. Our hearing will begin approximately 15 minutes after the floor closes for the day.

Don't forget to contact all of the members of Senate Judiciary before Friday. Their contact information is listed below.
