Bills, Votes & the Record

Legislature · Live

The New Mexico Legislature publishes bill information one session at a time, and much of it becomes hard to find once a session ends. This project builds a durable, cross-session archive of bill histories — sponsors, committee paths, and votes — so the legislative record stays searchable over time.

Sources

All material originates from the New Mexico Legislature's own public systems and published proceedings. Every record in the final dataset links back to its source on the legislature's site so anyone can verify it.

Now live: a searchable database of 48,000+ bills from 1996 to 2026, with sponsors, committee paths, and floor-vote counts. Data is compiled from the Legislature's public records with the Lab's custom-built data tools and provided as a research aid, so verify against the source before relying on any entry. Corrections: research@nmimpactlab.org.
