This joint resolution proposes an amendment to Article 2 of the New Mexico Constitution by adding a new Section 25 that establishes a comprehensive set of rights for children. These rights encompass access to timely and accessible medical and dental care, behavioral health services, nutritious food, stable housing, and transportation to essential services. Additionally, the resolution emphasizes the importance of home visitation programs, early childhood education, fully resourced community schools with health centers, youth mentorship programs, and the acquisition of skills necessary for quality employment.

The resolution mandates that the New Mexico legislature must enact laws to protect and implement these rights before the amendment takes effect. Furthermore, 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.
