Telecommunications committee adopts minutes and moves to closed session for cybersecurity briefing
Summary
The committee adopted minutes for August and September by voice vote with no opposition stated, then voted to close the public meeting for an executive-session cybersecurity briefing and directed non-legislative attendees and the live webcast to leave.
During the Science, Technology & Telecommunications Committee meeting at New Mexico State University, members adopted the minutes for August and September and then moved into a closed executive session to hear technical cybersecurity information.
Senator Michael Padilla moved to adopt the minutes; the motion was seconded and the chair recorded the minutes as passed by voice vote with “no opposition” stated on the record. The transcript does not include a roll-call tally or individual member votes.
Later the Office of Cybersecurity requested a closed session because it planned to discuss “a lot of technical sensitive information.” A committee member moved that the committee go into executive session; the motion was seconded. The chair directed non-legislative attendees to leave the room, staff cut the live webcast and the committee proceeded to the closed session.
The transcript records the procedural outcomes but does not include vote tallies or the content of the cybersecurity briefing (the session was closed). Committee staff handled removal of non-member attendees and the technical cut of the livestream as directed.
The public portion of the meeting concluded with those procedural actions; the closed session was entered for the stated purpose of discussing FY2027 cybersecurity legislative and budget priorities.
