Analysis by N.M. Political Report: HB175 restricted certain types of solitary confinement in jails. The bill would have prohibited confining pregnant women, teenagers or inmates with severe behavioral health issues. One opponent says the veto means "taxpayers will continue to pay millions in settlements for over utilizing an outdated and inhumane jail management tool."
Veto Message: HB 175 oversimplifies isolated confinement in such a way so as to eliminate flexibility and endanger the lives of inmates and staff alike. It is possible that a serious youthful offender poses a threat to, or actually engages in a pattern of harmful behavior toward other inmates or staff--HB 175 would prevent the correctional facility from utilizing restricted housing for this inmate.
Legislative Outcome: Passed House 38-22-10 on Mar/11/17; Passed Senate 29-3-10 on Mar/17/17; Vetoed by Gov. Martinez on Apr/6/17

We need to send people to Washington who not only understand the 2nd amendment, but the entire Bill of Rights.
Gun rights advocates need to know that the 2nd amendment is only as good as the fourth amendment. If we are not free from unreasonable and warrantless searches, no one's guns are safe. The 2nd amendment is very clear when it says that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
