SIGNIFICANT VICTORIES
In an effort to improve the lives of New Mexicans, NMBC is always looking for ways to pass laws and legislation that will create long-term, positive changes for our people.
Here are a few victories that NMBC’s had throughout the years, with more happening every day:
- High Profile: Our United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA) involvement resulted in the President of the United States (POTUS) inviting us to attend a signing ceremony at the White House.
- U.S. Energy Independence Support: The New Mexico Business Coalition (NMBC) hosted the national U.S. energy announcement in Albuquerque.
- Government Watchdog:
- Identified massive fraud with the COVID Unemployment Insurance (UI) payments and businesses being overtaxed. We notified the State Auditor and Attorney General, causing our Cabinet Secretary to resign.
- Filled 3 complaints with the New Mexico Attorney General (NMAG) office against the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission (NMPRC) for violating the Open Meetings Act.
- Unemployment Insurance Taxes: We wrote and passed a law during the COVID pandemic in 2020 that saved business owners $1,300.00 per employee, per year. This Insurance Taxes is still going on every year, since it’s introduction and passing in the legislator.
