This joint resolution proposes an amendment to Article 4, Section 5 of the New Mexico Constitution, which aims to extend the length of legislative sessions in even-numbered years from thirty days to sixty days. Additionally, it seeks to eliminate the current restrictions on the types of bills that can be considered during these sessions, allowing for a broader range of legislative matters. The amendment also includes provisions for the consideration of veto overrides for bills from regular, special, or extraordinary sessions that occur within the same legislative biennium.

The proposed amendment will be submitted to the public for approval or rejection during the next general election or any special election that may be called before that date. If passed, these changes would provide the New Mexico legislature with greater flexibility and capacity to address legislative issues in even-numbered years.
