Description

New Mexico Constitutional Amendment 2 - Authorizing Funds for Residential Services Infrastructure Amendment

Proposing to amend Article 9, Section 14 of the constitution of New Mexico to allow public investment to provide access to essential household services, including internet, energy, water, wastewater and other similar services as provided by law, upon the enactment of general implementing legislation by a majority vote of the members elected to each house of the legislature.

A "yes" vote supports authorizing the legislature to appropriate state funds for infrastructure that provides services primarily for residential use—such as internet, electric, natural gas, water, and wastewater—through a majority vote in each chamber.

A "no" vote opposes this amendment authorizing the legislature to appropriate state funds for infrastructure that provides residential services through a majority vote in each chamber, thereby leaving no exception for residential service infrastructure in the state constitution's prohibition against lending or pledging credit or donating to any person, association, or public or private corporation.
