The resolution proposes an amendment to Article 12, Section 13 of the New Mexico Constitution to establish nominating committees responsible for providing lists of nominees to the governor for the appointment of nonstudent members to the boards of regents of state educational institutions. It stipulates that student members will be appointed from a list provided by an elected student governing body of the respective institution. Additionally, it mandates that, except for student members, appointees to the boards of regents must not have changed their political party registration in the twelve months preceding their appointment, ensuring a diverse political representation on the boards.

The amendment outlines the structure and appointment process for the boards of regents, which will consist of five members for most institutions and seven for the University of New Mexico. The governor will nominate members from lists provided by the nominating committees, with the consent of the state senate. The terms for nonstudent members will be staggered at six years, while student members will serve two-year terms. The resolution also includes provisions for the removal of board members and establishes that the supreme court will have exclusive jurisdiction over removal proceedings. 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.
