The bill amends Section 12-3-4 of the New Mexico Statutes to officially designate a state bread for New Mexico. The new legal language includes the insertion of "The tortilla is adopted as the official bread of New Mexico." This addition recognizes the cultural significance of the tortilla within the state's culinary heritage.

In addition to the new designation for state bread, the bill maintains the existing list of state symbols, which includes the state flower, bird, tree, fish, animal, vegetables, gem, grass, fossil, cookie, insect, question, answer, nickname, butterfly, reptile, amphibian, aircraft, historic railroad, tie, necklace, and aroma. The bill does not delete any existing symbols but rather adds to the rich tapestry of New Mexico's state symbols by including the tortilla as a representation of the state's identity.
