New Mexico Solons Extend Regents Terms Debate Ends In House
The New Mexico legislature opened its second half by approving a constitutional amendment to extend regent terms from four to six years and to stagger them. Senate passage was swift but the house balked briefly before approving 40 to 3. A key difference: six year terms for five regents versus ten year terms. The measure now goes to voters after governor’s signature.
