SB 73 Heads to House Committee — Email Members Today

We have momentum — and we need your help to keep it going.

SB 73 (Driver’s Ed Requirements) passed the New Mexico Senate on Saturday and is now moving to the House. The bill has been referred to the House Transportation, Public Works & Capital Improvements Committee, and it is scheduled for a hearing tomorrow, February 17 at 9:00 a.m.

Now is the time to act.

📣 What We Need You to Do

Please email members of the House Transportation, Public Works & Capital Improvements Committee today and ask them to vote “Do Pass” on SB 73.

SB 73 would require New Mexico driver education to include training on safely interacting with vulnerable road users like pedestrians and cyclists — an important step toward safer streets statewide.

A short message is all that’s needed. You can simply:

• State that you are a constituent (if applicable)

• Ask them to vote “Do Pass” on SB 73

• Share why safer streets matter to you
