CYFD COMMISSION, CA

This constitutional amendment proposes creating a Children, Youth and Families Department and Commission in New Mexico. It would establish a five-member commission (appointed by the governor and legislative leaders) to manage the department and hire an executive director by July 2027. The amendment requires voter approval at the next general election to take effect. (Note: This is a procedural constitutional change, not an operational bill.)
