STUDY CYFD AS INDEPENDENT EXECUTIVE DEPT

Summary

The memorial asks the Legislative Finance Committee to form a bipartisan task force to examine whether New Mexico should amend its constitution to move the Children, Youth and Families Department out of the governor’s office and place it under an independent commission. It would affect the department’s staff, the families it serves, and state oversight structures. The goal is to determine if such a change could improve outcomes for vulnerable children and families.
