Bill > SJR7

This Joint Resolution proposes an amendment to the New Mexico Constitution, specifically Article 12, Section 13, to establish nominating committees for individuals being appointed or reappointed to the Boards of Regents of state educational institutions, with the exception of student members. These nominating committees, which would be established by law, would provide a list of at least three qualified candidates to the Governor, who would then nominate and, with the consent of the Senate, appoint the regents. The purpose of these committees is to ensure a more structured and potentially diverse selection process for those who oversee our state's educational institutions. This proposed change would then be put to a vote of the people for approval or rejection.
