HM 49 New Mexico House · 2026 Regular Session

"UNM DAY"

House Memorial 49 designates February 4, 2026, as "UNM Day" in the New Mexico House of Representatives to recognize the University of New Mexico's contributions as the state's flagship university. The resolution highlights UNM's role in serving over 28,000 students, awarding degrees (including 3,400 bachelor's), operating the state's only level one trauma center, and advancing research and healthcare. It does not impose new requirements but directs the House to send a copy of the resolution to UNM's president as a symbolic gesture.

TECHNICAL

Removed line numbers, page headers, and bracketed markup annotations that were present in the introduced version but not in the final version.
