Legislation requiring the New Mexico Construction Industries Division (CID) to perform a cost benefit analysis and fiscal impact to local government for each building code change proposed for adoption failed to pass. The bill had passed the New Mexico House but was not considered by the State Senate before the legislature adjourned on March 22. It is unlikely the bill will be brought up in the 2016 “short session” of the legislature as bills considered at that time must be budget bills and those on the Governor’s call.
