This joint memorial requests the Governor of New Mexico to establish a task force aimed at studying the needs of frontier areas within the state. Frontier areas are defined as unincorporated, sparsely populated regions that lack access to essential services and resources, particularly affecting low-income communities of color. The task force will include representatives from various state departments and community members, focusing on assessing current government services, available infrastructure, and potential improvements to enhance the quality of life for residents in these areas.

The study will explore the feasibility of implementing a community-operated infrastructure network model, which could streamline service delivery and reduce costs through shared resources. It will also evaluate existing statutes and rules to identify necessary amendments that could support the establishment of these networks. The task force is expected to provide periodic updates to legislative committees and submit a final report with findings and recommendations by November 1, 2025. Additionally, the memorial calls for the transmission of copies to relevant stakeholders, including the Governor and various state associations.
