Action Postponed Indefinitely (session adjourned sine die)
Summary
The resolution requests that the U.S. Congress convene an Article 5 convention of the states to propose constitutional amendments that would restrict federal fiscal spending, curb federal jurisdiction over public and private lands, and set term limits for federal officials and members of Congress. New Mexico would appoint commissioners, including representatives of federal‑land users, to take part in the convention. The measure aims to address what the state views as unsustainable federal debt and regulatory overreach affecting its citizens and economy.
