From the Office of the Governor:
- Renewal keeps public health orders in place
Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham renewed executive orders today declaring gun violence and substance misuse public health emergencies. The governor’s multi-pronged strategy is demonstrating progress as area law enforcement agencies continue to work together to address the gun violence epidemic. The renewal extends the emergency to Dec. 29, 2023, ensuring that progress continues.
In her executive orders, Gov. Lujan Grisham ordered a coordinated response to these public health emergencies involving the Department of Health, Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, Department of Public Safety and Health Care Authority.
The updated executive orders will not have any changes from the prior versions and keep the current public health orders on gun violence and substance misuse in place.
Lt. Gov. Howie Morales signed the executive orders, as the governor is currently out of the state.
The governor will provide an update on the progress of work around gun violence later this month alongside updates to the gun violence dashboard.
