Senate Memorial 7 requests the New Mexico Legislative Council to convene a redistricting task force aimed at improving the state's redistricting process. The task force will develop concrete recommendations, including proposed legislation, to address issues such as the lack of diversity in the citizen redistricting committee and the advisory status of the maps created by this committee. The resolution highlights the contentious nature of past redistricting processes, which have led to costly court battles and diminished public confidence in the political system.

The task force will consist of 13 to 15 members, including legislative representatives, state party chairs, and public members appointed by the state ethics commission, ensuring a diverse representation reflective of New Mexico's demographics. It will also gather input from various stakeholders, including political parties, representatives of Indian nations, and experts in relevant fields. The task force is expected to present its findings and recommendations to the Legislative Council and at least two interim committees by December 31, 2027, and may request assistance from the legislative council service for drafting legislation.
