"CHILE VERDE ROCK" AS STATE CHILE SONG
This Senate Memorial (SM 21) proposes that New Mexico study adopting "Chile Verde Rock" by Uvaldo Olonia as the state's official chile song. It requests the legislative council to examine the recommendation and encourages state tourism and cultural agencies to promote the song, which celebrates New Mexico's chile culture through lyrics referencing local regions and traditions. The bill was introduced in 2025 but was postponed indefinitely on June 3, 2025, and does not create binding law.
