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 specific provisions for the initial bill numbers reserved for essential legislative expenses and appropriations.

The amendment aims to enhance the legislative process by ensuring that prefiled bills are publicly available and mandating that they be introduced and referred to committee within 72 hours of the regular session's opening. This change is intended to streamline the legislative workflow and provide members-elect with the opportunity to contribute to the legislative agenda before the session officially begins.
