http://www.365gay.com/Newscon08/01/011808nm.htmA domestic partner bill that died in the New Mexico legislature this spring has been revived at the prodding of Gov. Bill Richardson (D).
The legislation would create a statewide domestic partnership registry for both same and opposite-sex couples.
Couples would register with local county clerks and receive certificates attesting their relationships. Partners would have to attest they are over the age of 18 and not otherwise in a relationship.
They would be guaranteed access to each other in hospitals and be able to make medical decisions for partners who are unable to make those decisions themselves, and they would be granted other state benefits and rights accorded to partners in marriages.
couldn't remember if this had been posted or not
