New Mexico House Bill 196

For those who might be interested or inclined to help:

Many of you know about our efforts at passing the MISSing Angels Bill to establish a Certificate of Birth Resulting in Stillbirth in New Mexico. It passed in 2007 but was vetoed by the governor. We have not given up our efforts and are once again in full legislative swing to get it passed again and finally signed!

The bill is HB196: http://nmlegis.gov/Sessions/09%20Regular/bills/house/HB0196.pdf

We would very much appreciate it if you could call or fax your legislators to ask them to support this long-overdue bill. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please feel free to contact me. If you would like to do more than contact your legislators, let me know. We are always looking for more help, especially more people who can be a presence at committee meetings.

Here is where you can locate your legislator: http://nmlegis.gov/lcs/legislatorsearch.aspx

Thank you all so much for your support, not only in this effort, but in our journey through the grief of Jesper's loss.
