New Mexico Establish Salary for State Legislators Amendment
Lean favorProvisional draft call. The mechanism was checked in the source review; remaining factual checks and uncertainty still matter.
Current assessment
Pays legislative service at state median household income, adjusted with that benchmark, beginning with members seated for the fifty-ninth legislature; per diem and mileage remain.
Source check and limits
Final HJR5 operative compensation language checked; official 2026 ballot listing calls it Amendment 4. Paying otherwise unpaid service is direct; better lawmaking or more diverse candidates is not established.
