This bill amends the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Code to establish a maximum speed limit of sixty-five miles per hour for truck tractors on highways. The new legal language specifies that "No person shall drive a truck tractor on a highway at a speed greater than sixty-five miles per hour." Additionally, the bill modifies the penalty assessment for speeding violations to include a specific penalty of $250 for truck tractors exceeding this new speed limit.

Furthermore, the bill updates the existing speed regulation section by removing the previous subsection designation for clarity. It also maintains the existing speed limits for other vehicles and outlines the penalties for various speeding infractions. The provisions of this act are set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
