The resolution proposes an amendment to Article 4, Section 5 of the New Mexico Constitution, allowing all bills to be considered during even-numbered years. Currently, the legislature is limited in what it can address during these sessions, focusing primarily on budgets, appropriations, and specific bills from the governor. The amendment would expand this scope to include the consideration of veto overrides for any bills from regular, special, or extraordinary sessions that occurred within the same biennium.
If approved, this amendment would change the structure of legislative sessions in New Mexico, enabling more comprehensive legislative activity in even-numbered years. The proposed amendment will be submitted to the public for approval or rejection during the next general election or any special election called for that purpose.
