Summary

The Senate Rules Committee Substitute for SB 689 (a dummy bill) eliminates limits on campaign contributions by individuals and political committees by repealing Section 1-19-34.7 NMSA 1978.

A potential concern regarding this bill is that it would open the door to unlimited pay-to-play campaign contributions by wealthy individuals and PACs.
