In January 2021, HB 114 was introduced in the New Mexico House of Representatives. This bill would provide judges discretion as to whether and how much of a habitual offender sentencing enhancement to add to a basic felony sentence. It would also grant judges discretion to suspend or defer these sentencing enhancements. NACDL has supported HB 114.
