The bill proposes to amend Section 12-3-4 of the New Mexico Statutes to officially designate lowriders as the state vehicle. This addition recognizes the cultural significance of lowriders within New Mexico's heritage and community. The new legal language inserted into the current law states, "The lowrider is adopted as the official vehicle of New Mexico."

In addition to this new designation, 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 inclusion of lowriders as the official state vehicle highlights the importance of this unique automotive tradition in New Mexico's identity.
