Description
Lance Chilton, MD, and State Representative Marian Matthews discuss the triumphs and debacles of the 2024 30-day New Mexico legislative session. Did our citizen legislature pass meaningful criminal reform, did they address medical provider recruitment and retention, and what did they do about NM’s continuing financial windfall? What bills did Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham sign, veto, and pocket-veto? These and a host of other issues are covered as part of this class.
Lance Chilton, MD, has worked for the Legislative Finance Committee for the past six years and was an Albuquerque pediatrician for 43 years. Marian Matthews is a NM state representative who has represented District 27 since January 2020. She has sponsored bills that focus on crime and medical provider recruitment and retention.
