THE SALE OF E-CIGARETTES TO MINORS IS NOW AGAINST THE LAW IN NEW MEXICO. GOVERNOR MARTINEZ SIGNED SENATE BILL 433 INTO LAW. IT ALSO REQUIRES LIQUID NICOTINE PRODUCTS BE SOLD IN CHILD-RESISTANT PACKAGING.
SHE ALSO SIGNED ANOTHER TWO DOZEN BILLS ON WEDNESDAY. THAT INCLUDES LEGISLATION DESIGNED TO IMPROVE NEW MEXICO SCHOOLS. ONE BILL EXPANDS ACCESS TO “K-3-PLUS”…A PROGRAM FOR STRUGGLING STUDENTS THAT PROVIDES ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTION OVER THE SUMMER. ANOTHER BILL STREAMLINES THE ADMINISTRATOR LICENSURE PROCESS…TO ALLOW THE BEST TEACHERS TO BECOME PRINCIPALS IN JUST THREE YEARS, INSTEAD OF SIX.
THERE WAS ONE VETO…THE BILL THAT WOULD HAVE ALLOWED SOME COUNTIES TO INCREASE PAY FOR COUNTY OFFICIALS.
