New Mexico — Laws
Bills, statutes, classifications, and references (state-level).
Law Overview
Legislation begins as bills introduced in either chamber of the legislature. Upon passage by both chambers and approval by the Governor, bills become law and are subsequently codified into the state's statutory framework, organized by subject matter into titles and chapters for systematic reference and legal application.
