Bill > SB98

This bill amends existing New Mexico law to exempt "jetty jacks" from being considered "cultural property" under both the Cultural Properties Act and the Cultural Properties Protection Act. A "jetty jack" is defined as a structure made of steel and heavy wire used by the United States Bureau of Reclamation and the United States Army Corps of Engineers for river bank maintenance. By excluding these specific structures from the definition of cultural property, the bill aims to prevent them from being subject to the regulations and protections outlined in these acts, which are designed to preserve items of historical, archaeological, scientific, architectural, or other cultural significance.
