SUMMARY
Synopsis of SFl#2 Amendment
This amendment is only a technical correction which strikes a previous floor amendment (SFl#1, which was not properly read into the Journal). This maintains the bill as it was originally drafted.
Synopsis of Original Bill
Senate Joint Memorial 34 request that the Tourism Department promote birdwatching in New Mexico as an important tourist attraction and that the department compile and publicize events around the state celebrating the International Migratory Bird Day.
Significant Issues
The agency indicates that presently, New Mexico is advertised in Audubon, the national birding magazine, and that the agency will continue to promote birdwatching in New Mexico.
