The time of expenditure is extended through fiscal year 2010. February 20, 2008 New Mexico librarians are probably wondering about the status of the 2008 General Obligation Bond Issue. When I last reported in LB #13, it had been given a "do pass" recommendation by the House Appropriations and Finance Committee. It subsequently passed the full House on a 60-0 vote. The Albuquerque Journal reported on February 14th that the Governor had signed it. However, it did not appear on the Legislature's website as a bill that had been signed. The following communication from State Librarian Susan Oberlander provides the current status of the bill, still awaiting the Governor's signature: February 15, 2008 We reported on the last day of the session that the Governor had signed Senate Bill 333, the package of General Obligation Bonds that will go to voters in November for approval. Well, the Governor had the bill on his desk, ready to sign – until we found out that Lt. Governor Diane Denish forgot to sign the official version as it left the Senate. The Lt. Governor is the presiding officer in the Senate, and must sign all bills that go to the Governor for his action. In any case, the Senate Chief Clerk asked the Governor’s Office to return the bill for the Lt. Governor’s signature. We did so, and the delay changed the deadline for the bill. Governor Richardson now has until March 5 to take action on the funding bill, which pays for senior centers, libraries and higher education projects – if voters approve. Susan Oberlander, Ph.D., State Librarian New Mexico State Library, 1209 Camino Carlos Rey, Santa Fe, NM 87507 505 476-9762 If the Governor signs SB 333 before March 5th, it will be reported in a legislative bulletin. The only other library legislation awaiting the Governor's action is SB 471, the Severance Tax Bond Projects bill. SB 471 funds almost a hundred library capital outlay request among the more than 2,000 projects in the bill. The Governor is now reviewing the projects, and will likely use his line-item veto on some of them. A legislative bulletin will be issued as soon as the text of the signed bill becomes available, detailing which projects were funded and which were vetoed. February 14, 2008 With less than an hour to go, there has been much activity on bills affecting libraries in the 2008 Legislature. Disagreements between the Governor and the Legislature have been much in news. The governor vetoed the entire capital outlay bill. SEVERANCE TAX BOND PROJECTS Sponsor: Roberto "Bobby" J. Gonzales Current Location: Vetoed Actions:[1] HTRC/HAFC-HTRC [20] DNP-CS/DP/a-HAFC- DP - PASSED/H (70-0) [17] tbld/S- w/drn [18] PASSED/S (40-0) VETO (Feb.13)(.) The Legislature could override his veto, but this seems unlikely. Instead,as noted in Legislative Bulletin 15, they have the same projects funded in: SEVERANCE TAX BOND PROJECTS Sponsor: Carlos R. Cisneros Current Location: House Calendar Actions: [5] SCC/SFC-SCC [6]germane-SFC [13] w/drn - tbld/S [15] w/drn - fl/sub adptd- PASSED/S (36-0) [20] HTRC/HAFC-HTRC [23] DP-HAFC- DP This bill is on the House Calendar for action today. By passing this bill, the Governor would have twenty days to act on it, with line item vetoes possible for any project. As noted before, the "3rd million" in School Library Materials Act funding and almost a hundred local library projects are in this bill. There are three library items in what is called "House Bill 2 Junior", a supplement to the General Appropriations Act. Senator Martinez was successful in including operational funding for six Rio Arriba County libraries. Note that the Governor line-item vetoed the words "grants in aid", [shown in brackets]. The funding for the Rural Library Development Act would seem to be nominal, and just to open the account.

HOUSE MEMORIAL 59 INTRODUCED BY James Roger Madalena A MEMORIAL REQUESTING A COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT OF TRIBAL PUBLIC LIBRARIES THROUGHOUT THE STATE. WHEREAS, tribal public libraries were created and organized in the 1970s to meet the growing educational needs of tribal communities; and WHEREAS, tribal public libraries are unique community centers that connect students, scholars and community members to the world of information by providing and teaching access to resources that are relevant to tribal communities; and WHEREAS, tribal public libraries serve all ages in their respective communities and are located in the epicenter of tribal communities, serving not only as informational resource centers but also as cultural information centers that play a vital role in language and cultural preservation; and WHEREAS, today, tribal public libraries exist in older buildings that were not designed for library use, nor do they have the capacity to deliver up-to-date technologies and services such as reliable high-speed connectivity for ease of use and security; and WHEREAS, tribal public libraries positively impact the quality of life of tribal members by providing free services such as distance education, general equivalency diploma classes, workshops, training, after-school activities and library programs to tribal communities that are located in rural, impoverished areas of New Mexico; and WHEREAS, tribal public libraries must compete for tribal revenues often earmarked for infrastructure such as roads, sewer and water lines, irrigation systems, emergency response systems, adequate medical facilities and communications systems that are lacking in tribal communities; and WHEREAS, tribal public libraries are filled to capacity but have limited staff to serve tribal communities with basic services, including access to evening and weekend hours as demanded by patrons; and WHEREAS, tribal public libraries lack the space to create computer laboratories, greatly limiting the provision of information literacy and technology training that would enhance library services; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO that the library division of the cultural affairs department and the Indian affairs department be requested to undertake a joint comprehensive assessment of tribal libraries throughout the state to determine financial resources and needs for the operation of those libraries; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the library division of the cultural affairs department and the Indian affairs department be requested to present their findings and recommendations regarding the operational financial needs of tribal libraries to the appropriate interim legislative committees no later than October 1, 2008; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this memorial be transmitted to the secretary of cultural affairs and the secretary of Indian affairs. February 10, 2008 On Saturday, the House unanimously passed Senate Floor Substitute for Senate Bill 471, the Severance Tax Bond Projects bill. Among the several thousand local capital outlay projects funded by this bill are ninety-eight library projects, which are listed below. As this bill has passed both houses more than three days before the end of the session next Thursday, Governor Richardson must sign or veto the bill (or line-item veto individual projects) within three days of receiving the bill. This would give the legislature time to override his veto. The General Obligation Bond Issue, SB 333, was also passed unanimously by the House and is now in the three day period in which the Governor must sign or veto it. Here are the library capital outlay projects in SB 471: SENATE FLOOR SUBSTITUTE FOR SENATE BILL 471 AN ACT RELATING TO CAPITAL EXPENDITURES; AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF SEVERANCE TAX BONDS; AUTHORIZING EXPENDITURES FROM CERTAIN FUNDS AND BALANCES; CLARIFYING CONDITIONS FOR THE ISSUANCE OF BONDS; ESTABLISHING CONDITIONS FOR THE EXPENDITURE OF SEVERANCE TAX BOND PROCEEDS; ESTABLISHING CONDITIONS FOR THE REVERSION OF UNEXPENDED BALANCES; MAKING APPROPRIATIONS; DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.

This will go to the full House for passage, possibly on Monday. Library funding is the second of four questions to be submitted to voters on the November ballot, if the bill is passed and signed by the Governor. The bill provides $3 million each for public, public school and academic libraries, and adds $2 million for tribal libraries. There is now a bill showing which capital outlay requests are recommended for funding. This is Senate Floor Substitute for Senate Bill 471. This bill passed the Senate on Friday by a 36-0 margin, and now goes to the House. There are many library projects funded, and the next Bulletin will list them. Among the items funded in SB 471 is the third million dollars for the School Library Materials Fund. The base amount of $2 million is already in House Bill 2, the General Appropriations Act, which has passed both houses and now awaits the Governor's signature. February 8, 2008 The following is an edited version of a report sent by David Giltrow, Co-Chair of the Bonds for Libraries 2008 PAC The House Voters and Elections Committee met Thursday morning. Sen. Cisneros presented in very brief summary of SB 333/s, the 2008 General Obligation Bond Bill, before chairman Jose Campos and three other committee members. The committee gave it a "do pass". However, just before the vote, the chair asked for comments from the audience and some five college/univ. people and a higher ed. dept. staffer gave their approval. I took the opportunity to note that the House version contained $30 million for libraries and this version had reduced the amount to $11 million. Interesting, Rep. McCoy asked where the $2 million for school libraries had gone--part of the $9 million for the PED. Sen. Cisneros indicated that these amounts were now contained in capital outlay bills. One other committe member asked why library books were included in a capital bill. Sen. Cisneros provided an explanation. This bill now moves on to the House Taxation & Revenue Committee which is the last one before the House floor vote. At this point, I think the $11 million is locked in stone as Sen. Cisneros indicated in his summary that Senate, House and Executive leadership has agreed on these numbers. UPCOMING HEARINGS - TODAY: HOUSE TAXATION AND REVENUE COMMITTEE - EDWARD C. SANDOVAL, CHAIRMAN Friday, February 8, 2008 - 1:30 P. M. - Room 317 February 6, 2008 In the six days since Legislative Bulletin # 10, there has been no new activity being reported on library bills of major interest. The Legislature's website has not been listing the ongoing hearings in the Capital Outlay Subcommittees on capital outlay requests. Reports from the press, from legislator's newsletters and from our legislative advocate indicate that most of our initiatives will not be funded. Key legislators are noting declining rates of growth in tax revenues and concerns about a national recession as reasons for not funding new initiatives. The General Appropriations Act (HB 2) has already passed the House, and the Senate has passed an amended version. The School Library Materials Fund was funded at a $2 million level, and the expected additional funding is not apparent in capital outlay request proposals except for the bond issue "mirror" requests by Senator Papen and Representative Sandoval. Even with "do pass" recommendations from the first committees hearing these bills, none of our watched bills have been heard or scheduled in the Senate Finance Committee or in the House Appropriations & Finance Committee. These are SB 215, increased state grants in aid; SB 222, operating funds for rural Rio Arriba County libraries; SB 223, operating funds for rural libraries statewide; SB 276 and SB 358, UNM Indigenous Nations Library; SB 379, Correctional Facilities Library Materials; HB 462, UNM Chicano/ Hispano/Latino Library Program; HB 499, Rural Public Libraries; HB 500, Rural Library Development Fund. Larry Horan, our NMLA Legislative Advocate, indicates that if these programs are not already in HB 2, they will not be considered. The Appropriations & Finance Committee did hear HB 498, Library & Economic Development Conference; and they tabled it. It is still likely that the statewide general obligation bond bill will have a library section. The amount and division of the funding by library segment is still to be determined, and the amounts contained in Senate Finance Committee Substitute for Senate Bill 333 are not set in stone. This bill is apparently still awaiting a hearing in the House Appropriations & Finance Committee. If the HAFC makes revisions, then the final bill will be written by a House/Senate conference committee.
