SUMMARY

Synopsis of Bill

Senate Joint Memorial 92 proposes a new focus for the DWI oversight task force. This focus being a comprehensive review of all issues related to DWI in New Mexico.

The memorial notes that the current task force has (for the past five years) unsatisfactorily addressed the “public scourge” of DWI because the task force’s approach was “piecemeal”.

The memorial requests the legislative council create an interim DWI oversight task force with responsibility for conducting a comprehensive review and craft recommendations for consideration for the Second session of the forty-sixth session.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS

There is no appropriation contained in SJM 92. There will be FTE and budget implications for the legislative council in staffing this interim committee. There may also be costs associated with per diem and mileage for task force members, though the memorial does not specifically provide for such compensation.
