This joint resolution proposes amendments to Articles 4 and 9 of the New Mexico Constitution to establish a state-funded program that would provide financial assistance to parents or legal guardians of school-age children for educational purposes. Specifically, the funding would support families who choose to homeschool their children or enroll them in private nonsectarian and nondenominational schools. The resolution seeks to ensure that such funding does not come from proceeds or income generated from lands granted to the state for public school purposes.

The proposed amendments would modify existing constitutional provisions that restrict state appropriations for charitable and educational purposes to entities under state control. By allowing the state to provide funding for homeschooling and private schooling, the resolution aims to expand educational options for families in New Mexico. The amendments will be presented to the public for approval or rejection during the next general election or any special election called before that date.
