"LAW ENFORCEMENT APPRECIATION DAY"
House Memorial 19, introduced in New Mexico's 2025 legislative session, declares February 10, 2025, as "Law Enforcement Appreciation Day" in the House of Representatives. This symbolic resolution formally recognizes the work of law enforcement officers across New Mexico, including those serving municipalities, counties, tribes, and state agencies. It directs copies to be sent to the New Mexico State Police, sheriffs' associations, municipal leagues, tribal departments, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The bill does not create new policies, allocate funds, or change existing laws - it is a ceremonial acknowledgment with no binding requirements. The resolution passed the House but was tabled and withdrawn before becoming law.

MINOR
The bill was reformatted from a traditional House Memorial layout to a cleaner, modern legislative format. The substantive content remains the same, declaring February 10, 2025 as Law Enforcement Appreciation Day in the New Mexico House of Representatives.
TECHNICAL
Removed redundant header text and page numbers, consolidating the document into a single clean format without the original multi-page numbering system.
Reorganized WHEREAS clauses for better readability, moving from a single block to separate, clearly numbered paragraphs.
Added a formal title line 'A MEMORIAL' at the beginning of the document.
