House Memorial 7, introduced by Patricia Roybal Caballero, requests a comprehensive study and report on employment classifications within New Mexico state government that lead to long-term work without benefits or employee protections. The resolution highlights concerns regarding the classification of workers as "temporary" or "nonregular," which can prevent them from accessing essential benefits and protections. It notes that certain practices, such as repeated separations and rehires, may undermine job stability and workers' rights, disproportionately affecting lower-wage and public-facing service workers.

The report, to be conducted by the legislative council service in collaboration with various state departments, will include a statewide count of nonregular workers, an estimate of the fiscal impact of extending benefits, identification of gaps in current statutes and policies, and an equity impact analysis. The findings are to be submitted to the legislative finance committee and relevant interim committees by November 1, 2026, with copies of the memorial sent to key state officials.
