Amendment 
of 
State constitution. 
vides that, in the case of the sale by the State of New Mexico of lands 
granted or confirmed to the State by such Act, legal title shall not 
be deemed to have passed until the consideration shall have been paid 
and any sale not made in substantial conformity with the provisions 
of such Act shall be null and void, are hereby waived with respect 
to the following sales by the State of New Mexico of lands which con-
stituted, or constitute, a portion of a tract of land for the sale of 
which a contract had been previously entered into, but only insofar 
as such sales would (but for the enactment of this Act) violate the 
terms and conditions contained in section 10 of such Act because of 
the fact that the full consideration for the entire tract was not, or is 
not, paid prior to the time of the sale of such portion and the issuance 
of the patent therefor: 
(1) Any sale of any such portion, if the patent with respect 
thereto was issued on or before September 4,1956; 
(2) Any sale of any such portion, if the patent with respect 
thereto is issued after September 4, 1956, and if the right to pur-
chase such portion is derived from an assignment, made on or 
before September 4, 1956, under the contract to purchase the 
entire tract; and 
(3) Any sale of any such portion, if the patent with respect 
thereto is issued after September 4, 1956, and if the right to pur-
chase such portion is derived from the contract to purchase the 
entire tract or from a contract entered into in substitution of such 
contract, and if the right or rights to purchase all other portions 
of such tract were, on or before September 4, 1956, assigned or 
relinquished by the person who entered into such contract. 
Consent is hereby given to the State of New Mexico to adopt any 
amendment to the constitution of the State or to enact any laws 
necessary to carry out the purposes hereof.
