The proposed joint resolution seeks to amend Article 2 of the New Mexico Constitution by adding a new section that establishes specific rights for children. These rights encompass access to essential services such as timely medical and dental care, behavioral health support, nutritious food, stable housing, and transportation to educational and recreational services. Additionally, the resolution emphasizes the importance of early childhood programs, fully resourced community schools with health centers, youth mentorship opportunities, and the acquisition of skills necessary for quality employment.

The resolution mandates that the New Mexico legislature must enact laws to implement these rights before the amendment takes effect. Furthermore, it stipulates that the proposed amendment will be presented to the public for approval or rejection during the next general election or any special election held prior to that date.
