INTERIM ADMIN. RULE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE, CA

This bill proposes creating a permanent 12-member legislative committee to oversee state agency rules in New Mexico. The committee, appointed by party leaders in both houses, would review proposed rules before public hearings, recommend changes to agencies, and suggest to the legislature that rules be overturned if they conflict with existing laws. It requires monthly meetings during legislative breaks and would need voter approval to become part of the state constitution. The measure directly affects state agencies that create rules and gives the legislature a new formal mechanism to challenge those rules during sessions.
