New Mexico special session to begin Sept. 6
Gov. Susana Martinez announced Monday that she will call the Legislature back to work beginning on September 6, six days earlier than the Legislative Council wanted. Redistricting will be on the agenda.
The legislature will also consider Martinez’ proposal to eliminate granting driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants, but such a bill failed in the Senate last year. Martinez also asked the legislature to consider funding supplemental food assistance in addition to federal benefits.
