New Mexicans will have more notice
about public meetings under legislation that has been signed into law by Gov.
Susana Martinez.
Governmental groups, ranging from city councils to school
boards and state regulators, will be required to make their meeting agendas
publicly available 72 hours in advance. They currently must provide a 24-hour
notice of a public meeting agenda.
Supporters say the new law will foster
greater openness in government and may allow more people to attend meetings by
giving them a longer notice of what will be discussed or acted upon.
The
measure takes effect June 14.
