STUDY RESTRUCTURING LAS VEGAS LAND GRANT

This memorial (SM 13) requests the Guadalupe Hidalgo Treaty Division of the Department of Justice and the Land Grant Council to study potential consequences of restructuring the governance of the Las Vegas land grant. It directly affects the Las Vegas land grant community and the San Miguel County district court, which currently manages the grant under 1903 laws. The study will evaluate changing the court's role in appointing the grant's board of trustees and managing the land, with a report due by December 1, 2026. The bill does not change laws but seeks to assess options for governance reform.
