This joint resolution proposes an amendment to Article 4 of the New Mexico Constitution to establish a permanent Interim Administrative Rule Oversight Committee. The committee will consist of twelve members appointed by the majority and minority floor leaders of both the House of Representatives and the Senate. The committee will meet at least once a month during the interim between legislative sessions and will be responsible for reviewing proposed agency rules, making recommendations to the proposing executive agency, and suggesting changes to the authorizing statutes to clarify legislative intent.
Additionally, if the committee finds that an agency rule does not comply with the authorizing law, it can recommend that the legislature overturn the rule during a legislative session. The resolution outlines the structure, appointment process, and responsibilities of the committee, and it stipulates that the proposed amendment will be submitted to the public for approval or rejection in the next general election or a special election prior to that date.
