OC-26-18: Albuquerque City Council Legislative Program for the First Session of the 58th Session of the New Mexico State Legislature

Description

Albuquerque City Council Legislative Program for the First Session of the 58th Session of the New Mexico State Legislature

Summary

OC-26-18 presents the Albuquerque City Council’s proposed legislative and capital-outlay program for the first session of New Mexico’s 58th Legislature in 2027. The requests seek state funding, laws, and services affecting residents citywide and within individual council districts. Capital projects include affordable housing, parks, libraries, community centers, fire stations, roads, drainage, lighting, transit, pedestrian and bicycle safety, open-space facilities, and cultural amenities. Legislative priorities include food access, housing stability, neighborhood revitalization, behavioral-health services, immigrant and domestic-violence protections, transit funding, greenhouse-gas reductions, data-center regulation, fireworks restrictions, impact-fee updates, and stronger protections for vulnerable road users. The program also supports a constitutional “Green Amendment” and authorizing local metal-recycling transaction reporting to help address theft. The Intergovernmental Relations Committee forwarded the proposals without recommendation for full Council review; they are requests, not enacted law.
