HM 48 New Mexico House · 2026 Regular Session

"VALENCIA COUNTY DAY"

House Memorial 48 designates February 4, 2026, as "Valencia County Day" in the New Mexico House of Representatives. This ceremonial resolution honors Valencia County's historical significance, cultural heritage, and economic contributions through its communities (including Belen, Los Lunas, Peralta, and Bosque Farms). It does not create new laws or policies but formally recognizes the county's role in New Mexico's history, agriculture, transportation, and modern economic growth. The resolution directs the House to transmit copies to county officials and local mayors. As a memorial, it has no binding effect but serves as a symbolic tribute.
