New Mexico's Legislative Process

Question 1 • 12011de2 ECAD Fall 2026 - Q1 - NM-World History and Geography - S2

Describe the legislative process.

Answer

Answer:

A bill is drafted and introduced in one chamber, then referred to committees for review, hearings, and possible amendments. If it advances, the full chamber debates and votes on it. A bill that passes is sent to the other chamber, where it goes through a similar process. Both chambers must approve the same version before it is sent to the governor, who may sign it into law or veto it. The Legislature can override a veto.
