This joint resolution proposes an amendment to Article 4, Section 5 of the New Mexico Constitution, aiming to modify the structure and limitations of the legislative sessions. The amendment stipulates that each regular session of the legislature shall not exceed forty-five days, regardless of whether it occurs in an odd or even-numbered year. Additionally, it removes the existing restrictions on the types of bills that can be considered during even-numbered years, allowing for a broader range of legislative discussions. The resolution also introduces provisions for the consideration of veto overrides for bills from any regular, special, or extraordinary legislative session within the same biennium.

The proposed amendment will be submitted to the public for approval or rejection during the next general election or at any special election called for that purpose. This change aims to enhance legislative efficiency and flexibility, ensuring that lawmakers can address a wider array of issues and respond to vetoes in a timely manner.
