This is the official nmlegis action history. I'm doing my best to translate the LONG/WEIRD-STRING to something less gibberishy. And before you ask, no, the "Legis Day" number has no mapping to the real world.

This table shows bill actions detected on Ed's system, using heuristics that may not be 100% accurate and which may not reflect the "official" nmlegis chronology. It is probably more than you care to know.

57th legislature - STATE OF NEW MEXICO - first session, 2025
INTRODUCED BY
Kathleen Cates and Andrea Romero and Christine Chandler
and Patricia Roybal Caballero
A JOINT RESOLUTION
PROPOSING TO REPEAL AND REPLACE ARTICLE 9, SECTION 14 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF NEW MEXICO TO ALLOW THE STATE, COUNTIES, SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND MUNICIPALITIES TO MAKE DONATIONS OF PUBLIC FUNDS TO PRIVATE PERSONS OR PRIVATE ENTITIES FOR PUBLIC PURPOSES AND TO REPEAL ARTICLE 4, SECTION 31 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF NEW MEXICO, WHICH PROHIBITS APPROPRIATIONS FOR CHARITABLE, EDUCATIONAL OR OTHER BENEVOLENT PURPOSES TO A PERSON OR ENTITY NOT UNDER THE FULL CONTROL OF THE STATE.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO:
SECTION 1. It is proposed to amend Article 9 of the constitution of New Mexico by repealing Section 14 and adding a new Section 14 to read:
"A. Neither the state nor any county, school district or municipality shall indirectly or directly lend or pledge its credit in the aid of or make a donation of public funds to a private person or private entity; provided that a donation to a private person or private entity may be made if the donation is used to accomplish a public purpose. As used in this subsection, "public purpose" means for the benefit of the public health, safety or welfare.
B. The provisions of this section are not self-executing. Before public funds are donated to a private person or a private entity, implementing legislation shall be enacted by a majority vote of the members elected to each house of the legislature."
SECTION 2. It is proposed to amend Article 4 of the
constitution of New Mexico by repealing Section 31.
SECTION 3. The amendment proposed by this resolution shall be submitted to the people for their approval or rejection at the next general election or at any special election prior to that date that may be called for that purpose.
