The Sante Fe New Mexican: Republican lawmakers took another step Monday night towards reinstating the death penalty in New Mexico.
Members of the House Finance and Appropriations Committee voted 8-6 along party lines to send the capital punishment legislation to a vote of the full 70-member House of Representatives.
House Bill 7 would allow the death penalty in cases involving the murder of a child, a police officer or a corrections officer. The bill largely mirrors a capital punishment statute that legislators repealed in 2009.
