NMSSA Legislative Update January 24, 2022

New Mexico Shooting Sports Association - NRA Sanction Organization

We are about a week into the 2022 New Mexico Legislative Session and the politics in Santa Fe are already in full swing. This morning, the firearm owner liability bill, 2022 HB9, went through a procedural move where the House Rules and Order of Business Committee found that the bill was germane to the session based on the Governor’s Executive Message 3 on 2022 HB68. From here, the bill will go the House Consumer and Public Affairs Committee. We will keep you posted on when that committee will hear the bill.

Speaking of 2022 HB68, that bill will be heard in the House Consumer and Public Affairs Committee tomorrow. The bill is a sort of “omnibus” crime bill, but lumped into it, there are new state-level restrictions regarding firearm possession in “school zones.” We are urging the sponsors to remove this language as it creates confusion and potential legal issues for gun owners.

These are the main two bills we are watching at the moment. If other bills that would impact your rights as a gun owner come up, we will get out an alert to you quickly.
