10-YEAR CRIMINAL JUSTICE PLAN

Summary

The memorial formally requests the Legislative Finance Committee to create a task force that will develop a ten‑year plan and funding strategy to modernize New Mexico’s criminal‑justice system. It targets law‑enforcement agencies, courts, prosecutors, public defenders, corrections, and related stakeholders to improve system performance, public safety, and equal justice. The effort is driven by reports of case dismissals, outdated training, staffing shortages, and inconsistent data reporting.
