Secretary of State announces that amendments proposed by Senate Joint Resolution Nos. 5 15 and House Joint Resolution Nos. 1 20 22 as printed in the 1935 Session Laws pages 481 to 486 are submitted to qualified voters at the September 17 1935 election.
The document outlines two constitutional amendments for New Mexico. It includes Sec five of Article VIII on tax exemptions for homesteads and veterans and a proposal to amend Section 6 of Article XII creating a State Board of Education, appointing a Commissioner of Education, and repealing Article V provisions on the State Superintendent. The measures target the November 1936 general election for submission and set terms for implementation.
The draft amendment proposes adding Article XXV to allow the Commissioner of Public Lands, with the governor and attorney general, to exchange state grant lands for U S lands within New Mexico for lands of equal value, under terms agreed with the Secretary of the Interior, and would not take effect until conditions are met.
A proposal to amend Section 14 of Article II of the New Mexico Constitution to guarantee a speedy public trial for crimes. It details grand jury rules, preliminary examinations, right to counsel, confrontation, and compulsory process, with trial in the county of alleged offense or another state county as designated.
The passage requires submission to the voters at the November 1936 general election or at any prior special election. The text outlines the process once Congress approves the amendment.
Constitutional text outlines Section 15 of Article II prohibiting self incrimination and forbidding being tried twice for the same offense. House Joint Resolution No 20 forwards the proposal to amend the constitution for general voter consideration.
