WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 23, 2002 The New Mexico Legislature is moving forward a bill to provide $2 million in funds, up from $750,000, to domestic violence programs. The bill comes as the Department of Justice's Violence Against Women Office said it would no longer fund the state's programs because they don't conform with federal law. The state doesn't discourage the arrest of victims and perpetrators of domestic violence and doesn't discourage the use of protective orders, according to DOJ. A separate bill to bring the state in compliance has been proposed. Get the Story:
