The bill amends Section 2-10-3 of the New Mexico Statutes to enhance the responsibilities of the Legislative Education Study Committee. It specifies that the committee will direct its work, conduct ongoing studies of New Mexico's public educational system, and recommend legislative changes as necessary. The previous language that limited the scope of studies and excluded certain topics related to higher education has been removed, allowing for a broader examination of educational issues.
Additionally, the bill mandates that the committee must present a full report of its findings and recommendations to the legislature during each odd-year legislative session, specifically by the tenth day of that session. This change aims to ensure timely communication of the committee's work and findings to lawmakers, thereby facilitating informed decision-making regarding education in New Mexico.
