House Sends a Message to Bill Richardson

David Doyle

Santa Fe – House Bill 368 passed the House of Representatives on a vote of 67-0 on Tuesday. The bill was introduced by House GOP members Rep. Nate Gentry (Albuquerque, Dist. 30) and Rep. David Doyle (Albuquerque, Dist. 23.) The bill would make sure an elected official can’t seal public records after their term in office is over. “This bill closes a loophole that prevents New Mexicans from knowing what goes on in their government,” said Rep. Gentry. “These records are public and the public should be entitled to inspect them at any time,” Rep. Doyle added. Before Tuesday’s vote, HB 368 passed through the committee process in House without a single vote against it. The bill now heads to the Senate.
