The proposed joint resolution seeks to amend Article 4, Section 5 of the New Mexico Constitution to restructure the legislative biennium. It aims to divide the total number of legislative days equally between two regular sessions, each not exceeding forty-five days. Additionally, the resolution allows for the consideration of all bills during even-numbered years, changes the start date of legislative sessions to the second Tuesday of January, and permits the legislature to address veto overrides for bills from any regular, special, or extraordinary session within the same biennium.

If approved, this amendment will be presented to the public for a vote during the next general election or any special election called before that date. The changes are intended to enhance legislative efficiency and flexibility in addressing various legislative matters throughout the biennium.
