LIAISON COMMITTEE MEETING: Government Affairs

December 19, 2025 11:00 AM - 11:45 AM (MST)

Description

Mission

To advance ACEC-NM’s mission of championing engineers in private practice — fostering innovation, quality design, community service, and financial success in a thriving business environment — by representing the profession’s interests in the New Mexico State Legislature. The committee actively engages in legislative initiatives, defends against harmful bills, and ensures the continued protection of Qualifications-Based Selection (QBS) in procurement law, while strengthening relationships between engineers and policymakers.

Purpose

  • Serve as ACEC-NM’s primary forum for legislative and governmental affairs.
  • Monitor and evaluate proposed legislation for impacts on the engineering industry.
  • Coordinate proactive initiatives to advance ACEC-NM’s legislative priorities.
  • Defend against bills that undermine sound procurement practices, QBS, or professional engineering standards.
  • Support the state lobbyist in tracking legislation, coordinating testimony, and building relationships with legislators and state officials.
  • Educate policymakers on the role of engineers in protecting public health, safety, and welfare.
  • Organize an annual Legislative Day at the State Capitol to provide members — particularly young professionals, though open to all — with an opportunity to directly engage with legislators during the session.

Objectives

  1. Legislative Tracking – Review bills during legislative sessions and provide input on their potential impact.
  2. Advocacy & Engagement – Organize meetings with legislators and key decision makers to advance ACEC-NM’s agenda.
  3. QBS Protection – Ensure continued compliance with and defense of QBS in New Mexico procurement law.
  4. Industry Voice – Represent ACEC-NM positions on infrastructure, funding, and professional practice matters.
  5. Member Involvement – Facilitate Legislative Day and other opportunities for members to participate in the legislative process.
  6. Communication – Keep ACEC-NM members informed of legislative developments and encourage grassroots advocacy when needed.
