House Memorial 45, introduced by a group of New Mexico legislators, requests the Legislative Finance Committee to investigate the effects of federal actions, particularly those taken by President Trump and the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), on New Mexico residents and state-funded programs. The memorial highlights concerns regarding the unclear authority and operations of DOGE, which has reportedly led to significant federal budget cuts and mass terminations of federal employees, including many in New Mexico. The legislators express that these actions may not comply with applicable laws and have adversely affected families and livelihoods in the state.

The resolution calls for a comprehensive investigation into the impact of these federal actions and the resulting job losses on New Mexico, with a report of findings and recommendations due by July 31, 2025. The report is to be shared with various legislative committees and state cabinet secretaries to address the harms caused by these federal decisions. Additionally, copies of the memorial will be sent to key state officials, including the governor and legislative leaders, to ensure awareness and prompt action on the matter.
