AI Summary
This bill makes technical corrections to various New Mexico statutes by updating cross-references, primarily to Section 33-2-34 NMSA 1978, which likely defines "serious violent offense." These changes ensure that references to this definition are consistent across different laws related to criminal procedure, sentencing, and competency to stand trial. For example, it corrects references in laws concerning the possession of firearms by certain individuals, the availability of GPS data for defendants on pretrial release, the determination of competency for defendants, and the consequences for defendants found incompetent to stand trial but who are also dangerous. It also updates references in statutes related to firearm enhancements for sentences and definitions within the Corrections Population Control Act and the Inmate Literacy Act. The bill aims to reconcile these statutes to accurately reflect the current definition of a "serious violent offense" and ensure proper legal application.
