New Mexico Legislation

 The Coalition of Sustainable Communities New Mexico (CSCNM) engages in a rigorous advocacy process to bring a consensus voice to the New Mexico legislature on bills that support member priorities relating to sustainability, energy, and climate action.

Legislative Process

  • CSCNM staff engage in information gathering on upcoming bills, and sharing bill summaries with Coalition members to support drafting of resolutions or ordinances that define their legislative priorities.

  • Member city councils or county commissions adopt Legislative Priorities Resolutions for the upcoming session.

  • CSCNM advocates for consensus bills during the legislative session.
