SB 499 Would Create NM Office of Peace
From the NM Department of Peace Initiative:
Last week Senator Gerald Ortiz y Pino of Albuquerque introduced SB 499, Office of Peace Act in the 2007 NM Legislature. The Office of Peace bill passed on the House Floor 37-22 during the 2005 session, but the Senate Public Affairs Committee tabled the bill. This session we just have the Senate bill. SB 499 has been assigned to the Senate Public Affairs Committee and the Senate Finance Committee. Senator Cisco McSorley remains a strong co-sponsor.
Please contact your legislators, especially your senators at this time, if you haven't already done so. Urge them to support SB 499, the NM Office of Peace bill. The general phone number for the Capitol is 505-986-4300. Also, please contact the members of the Senate Public Affairs Committee (see below) where SB 499 will soon be on the agenda for a hearing. It could be next week.
May Peace Prevail in NM!
