House Memorial 3, introduced by Gail Armstrong, declares February 18, 2025, as "New Mexico Home Builders Association Day" in the House of Representatives. This recognition honors the New Mexico Home Builders Association (NMHBA) for its long-standing service and commitment to fostering a vibrant and stable housing industry in the state. The NMHBA, chartered with the national association of home builders since 1959, plays a crucial role in advocating for safe, quality housing and commercial buildings, providing industry-leading information, education, and resources to its members, and promoting homeownership across New Mexico.
The memorial highlights the NMHBA's significant contributions, including its involvement in legislative processes, advocacy for attainable housing, and efforts to improve industry standards. It also acknowledges the association's role in shaping the Workers' Compensation Act and addressing issues like double taxation in the construction industry. The resolution concludes by directing that copies of the memorial be sent to the president of the board of directors and the chief executive officer of the NMHBA, further emphasizing the importance of the association's work in the state.
