No secrets.

Heh -- this has turned into the place where I put my raw notes.

SB 397/a referred back to Judiciary.

SB 401/a -- Wirth/Neville -- Eminent Domain reform. Amendment in Judiciary to pass House Bill. Wirth doesn't think Senate will concur with amendment but asks body to pass bill over to Senate, allowing conference cmte. to be formed on bill. Final Passage -- Pass 62-0.

SCONC/SB 489 -- 5% Biodiesel -- Final Passage: Pass 50-14.

SB 491/a -- Pass 63-0.

Alan Arkin Day tomorrow per Governor. Also Cowboy Day.

SB 529/a -- Requiring hearing aid coverage for children. No debate. Final Passage: Pass 63-0.

SB 596 -- requiring orders of Protection ("restraining orders") plaed in database moved to speaker's table.

SCORCS/SB 604 -- Retainage provision. Final Passage: Pass 60-0.

HJM 79 -- NM Legislative Council Requested to create interim Liquor Licensing Laws Review Committee. Debate from Ezzell tr. 76. VOTE! Pass 58-1.

Ooh. He's so adorable.

SPACS/SB 621/a (Rehm/Martinez) HFA #1 (Rehm) adopted no debate. Private Investivagor and Polygraph Act not amended in 25 years. Creating Private Investigations Advisory Board. Gentleman Gardner from Chavez Eddy Roosevelt and Gardner. Why was certain language struck regarding alarm companies? Would not require regulation of alarm company staff. Is not currently. Wasn't this idea? Not regulated as Private Investigators. Why placed in statute originally? Error. Never have been regulated under this statute. Is correct: 25 year old error. Gardner says *is* error, language in bill should remain requiring regulation of alarm system installers and private security firms. Rehm resp: telephone co., cable, &c. all regulated under electric, not by private investigations are. OFF TOPIC. Is an issue. Is NOT relevant to this bill. Please please please shut up. If it means that much to you write a bill, sit down, and let the house move on with business. Rodella -- wow -- the lady from New Mexico Legislative Service just told me both Rodella and Rehm were confused for a good ten minutes of debate. Rodella was asking about amendments that were made in her committee, but this bill never went to her committee. They weren't talking about the same bill.

SB 823/a -- Genderbending between the floor and rostrum debating a bill allowing Corretions to extend contracts for operation of private jails in the state. NM has highest percentage of inmates of all states in the Union. Maestas debating Campos. Disk 2, track 14-ish. Several different contractors. Final passage: Pass 53-9.

SB 671 -- Candidate Withdrawal. To avoid another Jeff Armijo situation. Pass over. Sponsor unprepared.

SB 861/a -- Payne's rumblestrips before camera-ed intersections. Larranaga/Chasey getting into it. Track 19. Now it's Larranaga/Maestas. 30 mph = 44 fps. Larranaga -- Masters' degree in traffic engineering, gets "woooos" when he says this. He says should cut down on rear-end accidents. Larranaga/Steinborn. S fails to understand the logic. Amendment provides for rumblestrips instead of beacons and flashing lights as in original bill. Larranaga/Heaton. H asks how many rear-ends at camera-ed intersections. Larranaga doesn't have the data, but "assures" that from "around the world" they increase. m. 14 ~. Heaton supports for preventing whiplash. Chasey again trak 20. Why only red light intersections, not at all? L depends on volume of traffic. Gutierrez from Dona Ana asks same exact question as Heaton. Same question different conclusion. Does not support. L cites Washington DC, Ontario, &c.. Gutierrez. Is this stalling? Steve Terrell seems to think it may be. This debate's been going on about half an hour now. Maybe it's just the only issue most of the people down there come close to understanding. Silva tr. 20 asks if we an substitute potholes in place of rumble strips. Laughter. VOTE. Pass 38-22.

Tr. 25 SJM 15: Alternative Pathway to School Administrative Licensure. Final Passage no debate: Pass 65-0. Thank gawd. (This took forever in the Senate.)

SJR 13/a: land swap in Dona Ana I think. Final Passage: 63-0

SB 671: Candidate Withdrawal requirement: signed and notarized statement of withdrawal to Secretary of state to avoid Jeff Armijoism. Tr. 35. Dumb question out of left field. Time to get dinner. Pass 64-0. Just got back. *Perfect* timing.

HM 84 (Lujan) -- Traditional farmers, protecting native seeds from contamination. HFA #1 adopted. Changing one of the entities asked to look into issue. HFA #2 Strikes out Genetic Engineering Language. Track 46~.

SB 1031: Solar collector somethingorotherb bill. I'm eating. Yummy meatloaf. Makes covenants unlawful and unenforceable that restrict any sort of solar collector from PV to skylights. Pass 41-25.
