LEGISLATORS ARE MAKING FAST WORK OF PUBLIC SAFETY BILLS AT THE ROUND HOUSE IN SANTA FE. ONE MEMORIAL REQUESTS THE FEDS TO CURB GUN VIOLENCE. THE HOUSE MEMORIAL CALLS ON THE FBI TO NOTIFY LOCAL AUTHORITIES WHEN SOMEONE IS PROHIBITED FROM BUYING A FIREARM. IT’S NOW MADE IT TO THE HOUSE FLOOR.
THE HOUSE ON MONDAY ALSO UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED ANOTHER MEMORIAL ASKING THE STATE PUBLIC SAFETY DEPARTMENT AND CHILDREN, YOUTH AND FAMILIES DEPARTMENT TO TRAIN ANIMAL ABUSERS, AS THESE OFFENDERS ARE LIKELY TO COMMIT VIOLENCE AGAINST HUMANS TOO.
AND A NEW ROUND OF PUBLIC SAFETY BILLS … INCLUDING ONE TO EXTEND TIME FOR PROSECUTORS AND TO INCREASE DWI PENALTIES … WILL BE HEARD IN A HOUSE COMMITTEE ON TUESDAY.
