Bill > SB148

This bill designates April 30th of each year as "Miguel Trujillo Day" in New Mexico to honor Miguel Trujillo, a Marine veteran and member of the Pueblo of Isleta, for his efforts in securing voting rights for Native Americans on tribal lands. The day is intended for the community to observe with education, celebration, and reflection on voting rights and indigenous leadership. Additionally, the bill appropriates $75,000 from the general fund to the Indian Affairs Department for fiscal year 2027 to develop and distribute educational materials about Miguel Trujillo, coordinate events, and create resources to raise statewide awareness of his life and achievements.
