USE OF CERTAIN PROPER NAMES BY STATE

New Mexico's SB 155 requires state agencies to use "Judea and Samaria," "Judea," or "Samaria" instead of "West Bank" when referring to land adjacent to Jordan that Israel regained after the 1967 Six-Day War. It applies to all official government communications like rules, press releases, or guidance documents prepared by state departments, boards, or commissions. The bill explicitly excludes teaching or research materials produced by state-employed college instructors from this requirement. This is a procedural change to standardize terminology in state government materials, not a policy affecting residents or land rights.
