LOCATION FOR ROBERTO MONDRAGON MEMORIAL

Senate Memorial 24 requests New Mexico's General Services Department, Department of Transportation, and State Parks Division to identify and recommend a public location for a memorial honoring Roberto A. Mondragon, a former lieutenant governor and advocate for Hispanic cultural heritage and land rights. The memorial would recognize his decades of service, including two terms as lieutenant governor, work on rural community issues, and efforts to preserve Hispanic cultural heritage and communal land rights under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. The request directs these departments to propose sites like state parks, roadways, or public spaces for the memorial. This procedural resolution does not create new law but formally asks state agencies to act on the commemorative request.
