SEX OFFENDER REGISTRATION TO D-W-I REFORMS TOP THE LIST OF ITEMS ON GARY KING'S LEGISLATIVE WISH LIST. THE ATTORNEY GENERAL WANTS TO CLOSE A LOOPHOLE THAT ALLOWS SEX OFFENDERS TO MOVE TO NEW MEXICO FROM OTHER STATES WITHOUT HAVING TO REGISTER AS A SEX OFFENDER. HE SAYS, WITHOUT THE CHANGE, THE STATE COULD CONTINUE TO BE A SAFE HAVEN FOR THOSE OFFENDERS.

 

KING ALSO WANTS TO PUSH A BILL THAT WILL ALLOW THE PUBLIC TO KNOW THE SOURCE OF OUT-OF-STATE MONEY SPENT ON NEW MEXICO ELECTIONS. THE A-G ALSO HOPES TO EXTEND STATEWIDE THE "LOCAL OPTION LIQUOR EXCISE TAX" THAT CURRENTLY ONLY APPLIES TO MCKINLEY COUNTY. IT WOULD LET ALL COUNTIES DECIDE HOW BEST TO TAX ALCOHOL SALES.
