We were so excited to have seen the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact be signed into law by the governor during the 2026 legislative session!

However, we can take the same action for many other vital health care providers! 🏥🚑

The gavel has dropped for the 2026 legislative ses The gavel has dropped for the 2026 legislative session. Let’s talk results.

What we passed:

✅HB99: Medical Malpractice Reform
✅SB1: Interstate Medical Licensure Compact for doctors
✅HB66: Enhancing student loan repayments for health care workers
✅HB29:Enhancing math education
✅HB30: Enhancing teacher residences
✅SB37 Enhancing literacy education
✅Strengthened funding for our strategic water reserve
✅Opposed SB309 - Repealed 30% of lottery revenue to student scholarships

Here's what didn't quite make it across the finish line:

❌Eight other interstate compacts for health care workers
❌Pathway for international doctors to practice in New Mexico
❌Repealing the gross receipts tax on certain medical services
❌Tax credits for rural providers and health care preceptors
❌Increasing funding to Medicaid Trust Fund
❌Maximizing dollars to the classroom

We are so proud to announce that HB99 has PASSED the Senate floor in a 40-2 vote. The Senate successfully took off the two amendments that would have weakened HB99. New Mexico, you made your voices heard! This passage marks a win for New Mexico patients AND doctors!
It's go time, New Mexico! It's your last chance It's go time, New Mexico! 

It's your last chance to contact your senators and urge them to FIX HB99. Let's get this done, New Mexico!

The bill passed the Senate Judiciary Committee and now heads to the Senate floor. However, the committee made amendments that removed two of the six major reforms in the bill. The reforms that were removed would decrease malpractice premiums by an estimated 18.5%. 

Urge your senator to remove the two bad amendments and pass HB99!
