MEMORANDUM
TO: New Mexico Legislators
FROM: D. Pauline Rindone
RE: Summary of Public School-Related Legislation Passed by the Forty-Fifth Legislature, Second Session, 2002 (After Executive Action)
Enclosed for your information are updates to the February 20, 2002 memorandum summarizing public school-related legislation passed by the 2002 Legislature. These materials reflect final action by the Governor.
The 2002 Legislature passed two versions of the General Appropriation Act of 2002 that provided FY 03 public school funding, but Governor Johnson vetoed both (refer to Tables 1 and 2). On February 7, 2002, the Governor vetoed CS/HB 2, et al., stating that the bill did not provide for a flat budget, adequate reserves for our future, or responsible Medicaid spending. On March 6, 2002, he vetoed CS/SB 1. In his veto message, the Governor reiterated the concerns he had expressed earlier. In his partial veto message of *CS/H 88, as amended, Governor Johnson concluded, AChoices have been made. Laws have been signed or vetoed. The 45th Legislature is officially over pursuant to the Constitution. I will now take all necessary and appropriate executive action to manage the government over the remainder of my term in office."
Among legislation signed by Governor Johnson were bills that:
Among bills the Governor vetoed were:
With regard to capital outlay funding, the Governor signed:
In a partial veto that did not affect public school capital outlay funding, the Governor also signed:
The following materials are included for your information:
A separate listing of public school-related legislation that did not pass is available upon request from the LESC office.
