Bill Summary
A JOINT RESOLUTION PROPOSING TO AMEND ARTICLE 4 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF NEW MEXICO TO CREATE A PERMANENT INTERIM ADMINISTRATIVE RULE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE AND ALLOW THAT COMMITTEE TO RECOMMEND THE OVERTURNING OF AGENCY RULES TO THE LEGISLATURE; ALLOWING THE LEGISLATURE TO OVERTURN AGENCY RULES DURING A LEGISLATIVE SESSION.
AI Summary
This joint resolution proposes to amend the New Mexico Constitution to establish a permanent Interim Administrative Rule Oversight Committee composed of twelve legislators from both the House and Senate, appointed by party leaders. This committee will meet monthly during legislative breaks to review proposed rules from executive agencies, analyze their impact, and make recommendations to those agencies or suggest changes to the laws that authorize the rules. Crucially, if the committee finds an agency rule to be inconsistent with the law, it can recommend to the legislature that the rule be overturned during a legislative session, and the legislature would then have the power to do so. This proposed constitutional amendment would then be put to a vote of the people for approval.
