victory for clean water and advocates across the state! Today, Governor Lujan Grisham signed Clean Water Bill SB21 into law, a critical step forward in protecting New Mexico’s communities and threatened waterways. SB 21 ensures federal clean water protections that had existed in New Mexico for 50 years are continued at the state level. It also provides authority for the state to take over permitting from the federal government for the waters that are still federally protected, streamlining the process and bringing oversight into the hands of New Mexicans. This win was made possible by a powerful intersectional movement of water champions across the state. Special thank you to SB21 sponsors Sen. Wirth, Rep. Ortez, and Sen. Gonzales for their dedication to this important legislation throughout the 2025 session and to Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham for making it official!
