SUMMARY
Synopsis
of Bill
House Joint Resolution
24 proposes to amend Article 4, Section 6 of the New Mexico Constitution to
allow consideration of bills vetoed by the governor in a regular session during
a special session.
Significant
Issues
The constitution currently does not provide for
consideration during special sessions of bills vetoed by the governor that
passed during a regular session.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
If passed, this question would appear on the
ballot in the November 2002 general election.
The Secretary of State reports it costs $30.0 to place an item on the
ballot for advertising and printing. Included in the cost is: (1) the
publishing of constitutional amendments in English and Spanish for four
consecutive weeks in one newspaper in each county of the state; (2) the oral
translation and radio broadcast into the Native American languages of Tewa,
Tiwa, Towa, Keres, Zuni, Mescalero Apache, Jicarilla Apache and Navajo; and (3)
the printing of amendments booklets in English and Spanish (including Spanish
language translation cost) and distribution to all county clerks (100,000
booklets were printed for 2000 general election). Therefore, there would be a nonrecurring cost to the general fund
of $30.0 in FY03. This legislation does
not include an appropriation needed to fund these costs.
