House Memorial 24 requests the Guadalupe Hidalgo Treaty Division of the Department of Justice and the Land Grant Council to conduct a study on the potential consequences of restructuring the governance of the Las Vegas land grant. This land grant is currently managed by the district court of San Miguel County, a situation that has led to confusion and calls for change from both the court and land grant members. The memorial highlights the historical complexities surrounding the land grant's ownership and governance, which have left members feeling stripped of their ability to self-govern.

The resolution specifically requests an evaluation of the implications of divesting management and appointment authority from the fourth judicial district court, as outlined in Chapter 49, Article 6 NMSA 1978. It also mandates that the findings and conclusions from this study be reported to the relevant legislative committees by December 1, 2026. Additionally, copies of the memorial will be sent to key stakeholders, including the director of the Guadalupe Hidalgo Treaty Division, the chair of the Land Grant Council, and the chief judge of the fourth judicial district court.
