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 the state as a whole. The memorial highlights concerns regarding the unclear authority and operations of DOGE, which has reportedly led to significant cuts in federal expenditures and job losses among federal employees, including many in New Mexico. The resolution emphasizes the potential risks to national security and privacy due to DOGE's access to sensitive information across various federal agencies.

The memorial calls for a comprehensive investigation into the impact of these federal actions on New Mexico, particularly regarding the termination of federal employees and the cancellation of federal programs that affect the livelihoods of residents. It requests that the Legislative Finance Committee report its findings and recommendations by July 31, 2025, to various legislative committees and state cabinet secretaries. Additionally, copies of the memorial are to be transmitted to key state officials, including the governor and legislative leaders.
