The resolution proposes an amendment to House Rule 11-12-1, allowing both current members and members-elect of the New Mexico House of Representatives to prefile legislation. This prefiling can occur during regular business hours from January 2 until the Friday before a regular session begins. The chief clerk will be responsible for numbering the prefiled legislation in the order it is received, with the first prefiled bill designated as House Bill 10 or a higher number as determined by the speaker of the house.
Additionally, the resolution stipulates that prefiled legislation must be made publicly available and must be introduced and referred to committee within seventy-two hours of the opening of the regular session. This amendment aims to streamline the legislative process and enhance transparency by allowing members-elect to participate in the legislative process before the session officially begins.
