S. 1363

New Mexico Land Grant-Mercedes Historical or Traditional Use Cooperation and Coordination Act

Energy and Natural Resources Committee · Sen. Ben Luján (D-NM)

23 September 2026 | Passed Senate with amendment (unanimous consent)

What's next: To the House (if and when it takes it up)

Summary: The bill would require the federal Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service to create agreements with the New Mexico Land Grant Council to help communities with historical Spanish and Mexican land grants access federal lands for traditional uses. The measure aims to improve coordination between federal agencies, these land grant communities, and Indian tribes, and would require federal land management plans to consider how other uses might affect the traditional practices of these communities.
