USE OF CERTAIN PROPER NAMES BY STATE

Summary

The bill directs New Mexico state agencies to label the territory Israel gained in the 1967 war as “Judea and Samaria” (or “Judea” or “Samaria”) in any written or printed official material, and to avoid using the term “West Bank.” It applies to all state departments, boards, commissions and their employees when producing rules, briefings, press releases, or similar documents. The change is meant to standardize the terminology the state uses for that land.
