The resolution proposes an amendment to the House Rules of the New Mexico House of Representatives, specifically to allow members-elect to prefile legislation. Currently, House Rule 24-1 permits amendments to the rules through a two-thirds vote or a majority vote upon recommendation from the House Rules and Order of Business Committee. The amendment to House Rule 11-12 would enable both current members and members-elect to submit proposed legislation to the chief clerk during a specified period, from January 2 until the Friday before a regular session begins.

Under the proposed amendment, prefiled legislation would be numbered in the order received, with the first bill assigned a designated number as determined by the speaker of the house. This process ensures that essential bills, such as those related to the legislature's current expenses and general appropriations, are prioritized. Additionally, all prefiled legislation would be made publicly available and must be formally introduced and referred to committee within 72 hours of the regular session's commencement.
