INCREASE FELON FIREARM PENALTY

Summary

The bill changes New Mexico law to make it a third‑degree felony for any felon to receive, transport, or possess a firearm or destructive device. If the felon is classified as a serious violent felon, the offense carries a mandatory six‑year prison term. First‑time violations become a second‑degree felony and repeat offenses a first‑degree felony, while certain other restricted persons face only a misdemeanor.
