This joint resolution proposes an amendment to Article 4 of the New Mexico Constitution to establish a "Citizen Commission on Legislative Salaries." This independent state agency will be responsible for setting, adjusting, and limiting the salaries of state legislators. The commission will consist of nine public members, with a political party representation limit, and will conduct reviews and research on legislative salaries. The commission is required to file a report with its salary determinations by October 1, 2028, and every four years thereafter, with any changes taking effect in July following the report's filing.

Additionally, the resolution seeks to amend Article 4, Section 10 of the New Mexico Constitution to include provisions for legislative salaries as determined by the newly established commission. It outlines the per diem and mileage compensation for legislators while specifying that no other compensation or allowances will be provided. The proposed amendment will be submitted to the public for approval or rejection during the next general election or any special election prior to that date.
