The bill establishes August as "New Mexico Red and Green Chile Month" to honor the cultural and economic significance of chile in the state. It recognizes the historical journey of chile from its indigenous origins, through its incorporation by Spanish settlers, to its current prominence in New Mexican cuisine. The declaration aims to celebrate the unique identity of New Mexico and highlight the importance of chile as a vital economic driver that supports numerous jobs and contributes to the agricultural sector.

This new designation is formalized by enacting a new section in Chapter 12, Article 5 of the New Mexico Statutes Annotated (NMSA) 1978, which emphasizes the role of chile in shaping the state's culture and economy. The bill does not include any deletions from existing law.
