And we’re just getting started.
WE’VE STOPPED RESTRICTIVE PROPOSALS
Helped stop proposed bans and restrictions on nicotine vapes, Delta-8, packaging, operating hours, and other lawful products and businesses.
WE’VE FOUGHT HARMFUL LEGISLATION
Organized business owners, met with legislators, attended committee hearings, and testified at the Roundhouse on bills affecting our industries.
WE’VE CHALLENGED LOCAL RESTRICTIONS
Organized businesses and worked directly with city officials to challenge proposed operating-hour restrictions and other local policies.
WE’RE PUSHING BACK ON REGULATORY OVERREACH
Working on kratom, hemp, licensing, product regulations, and inconsistent enforcement affecting lawful New Mexico businesses.
WE’RE BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS THAT GIVE BUSINESSES A VOICE
Through our lobbyist and leadership, we’re building direct relationships with City Council members, the Mayor’s Office, state representatives and senators, and the Governor’s Office, helping bring business owners into the conversations that affect them.
WE DON’T JUST WATCH WHAT GOVERNMENT DOES. WE SHOW UP.
At City Hall, at the Roundhouse, and wherever decisions affecting New Mexico businesses are being made, we’re working to make sure
business owners have a voice.

UBONM monitors proposed legislation, regulations, local ordinances, agency actions, and enforcement developments that could materially affect New Mexico businesses.
