Synopsis of Bill
House Bill 209 requires the Secretary of State to establish the “New Mexico Community Land
Grant Registry” in which the bylaws and lists of current officers of the state’s community land
grants are to be registered. The bill applies to community land grants organized and governed
pursuant to Section 49-1-1 through 49-1-18 NMSA 1978 and operating as political subdivisions
of the state. The bill allows land grant organizations to request that the Secretary of State keep on
file current or historical documents of maps submitted by the board of trustees of a land grant
organization, provided that the Secretary of State can store these documents at the State Records
Center and Archives.
