HB 308 New Mexico House · 2026 Regular Session

SUBSTITUTE CARE ADVISORY COUNCIL CHANGES

HB 308 moves the Substitute Care Advisory Council from administrative oversight by the Regulation and Licensing Department to the Attorney General's office. It transfers all council personnel, funding, property, and contracts between these departments. The bill maintains the council's existing duties - monitoring child welfare systems, reviewing cases, and advising on substitute care policies - but changes its administrative home. This is a procedural reorganization affecting state agency structure, not a policy change for children or families in substitute care.
