In Session

In Session

Southwest Women’s Law Center is always at work on the issues that impact women and girls around reproductive rights, economic security, and gender discrimination.

Throughout the years, we have advocated for many bills at the Legislature and continue to fight for policies that lift women and their families out of poverty.

2022 Legislative Session:

HM 3 – Paid Family & Medical Leave Task Force
Status: House Pre-File


SM 1 – Paid Family & Medical Leave Task Force
Status: Sent to SRC

▶ FACT SHEET: SM1 & HM3: Paid Family & Medical Leave Task Force

During the 2021 Legislative Session:

HB 38 – Paid Family & Medical Leave Act
Status: Tabled and Died in Committee

New Mexico workers should not face the loss of their livelihood because they need to take time away from work due to a health condition or family care-giving responsibilities. By passing the PFMLA, we can ensure economic security for New Mexico workers and communities.

HB 44 – Unemployment Compensation Restriction Changes
Status: Tabled and Died in Committee

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted nearly every part of New Mexican’s lives. Health, education, family responsibilities, employment, and so much more have been disrupted by this public health crisis. We owe it to NM residents to do all we can to mitigate those impacts.
