House Memorial 45, introduced by a group of New Mexico legislators, requests the Legislative Finance Committee to investigate the effects of recent 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 authority and actions of DOGE, including significant cuts to federal expenditures and the potential exposure of sensitive information that could threaten national security and violate privacy rights. It notes the mass termination of federal employees, including many from New Mexico, and the unclear legal compliance of these actions.

The resolution calls for a comprehensive investigation into the impact of these federal actions on the state's residents and the work funded by federal dollars. The Legislative Finance Committee is tasked with reporting its findings and recommendations by July 31, 2025, to various legislative committees and state cabinet secretaries. Additionally, copies of the memorial will be sent to key state officials, including the governor and legislative leaders, to ensure awareness and prompt action regarding the situation.
