Summary
The bill amends New Mexico’s receiving‑stolen‑property statute to impose a harsher penalty when the stolen item is a gun. It creates a third‑degree felony charge for firearms valued under $2,500, while keeping the existing value‑based penalties for other stolen property. The change is intended to deter the illegal trade in stolen firearms.
