SUMMARY



Synopsis of Bill



House Joint Memorial 19 requests the New Mexico Municipal League and the New Mexico Association of Counties to conduct a study on 1) the terminology used by local governments when discussing zoning classifications and 2) the need for uniformity of the terminology. The memorial asks that the associations report their findings to an interim legislative committee by December 1, 2001.



Significant Issues



The New Mexico Municipal League and the New Mexico Association of Counties represent the state's 103 municipalities and 33 counties, respectively. The memorial notes they are therefore well suited to conduct the study in question.



FISCAL IMPLICATIONS



This is a memorial and contains no appropriations. There are no fiscal implications for state agencies.



RELATIONSHIP



The memorial may relate to Senate Joint Memorial 7, which asks the Municipal League and the Association of Counties to conduct another study relating to land use planning.
