HABITUAL OFFENDER STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS

Summary

The proposal changes New Mexico’s habitual‑offender rules so that a person with one, two, or three or more prior felonies receives an additional year, four years, or eight years added to their basic sentence. Only prior felonies that occurred within ten years of the new offense would count, and the added time generally cannot be suspended, except in limited non‑violent cases. The measure was withdrawn and is not advancing.
