The 2025 New Mexico Legislative Session is approaching its final week, with the oil and gas industry at the center of legislative attention. Throughout the session, lawmakers in Santa Fe have introduced measures that aim to regulate the industry more strictly.
This focus on the oil and gas sector has been a consistent theme, despite its significant contributions to revenue and long-term investments in the state. Critics argue that these legislative efforts may hinder economic diversification efforts.
The industry's stakeholders are encouraged to reach out to their legislators as decisions made during this session could impact future operations.
