Bill > HB41

This bill amends the New Mexico statutes to establish certain partitions of land grants-mercedes (a type of land grant) as autonomous land grants-mercedes, subject to the provisions of Chapter 49, Article 1 NMSA 1978. The bill provides definitions of key terms such as "land grant-merced," "heir," and "qualified voting member." It also specifies that the new law applies to certain confirmed land grants-mercedes and partitions of such grants, and allows the board of trustees of a land grant-merced to petition the legislature to repeal any specific legislation governing their grant and instead be governed by their bylaws and the general provisions of the law. The bill also explicitly includes several specific land grants-mercedes under the new law.
