Senate Memorial 13 requests the expansion of citizen science initiatives by state agencies in New Mexico and calls for the governor to declare a "Citizen Science Day." The memorial highlights the importance of citizen science as a collaborative effort that engages community members in collecting valuable data related to the environment, thereby fostering scientific literacy and encouraging youth involvement in STEM fields. It references previous legislative efforts, specifically House Memorial 34, which aimed to create a working group to develop recommendations for integrating citizen science into state agencies.

Additionally, the memorial urges specific state departments, including the public education department and the New Mexico outdoor recreation division, to review a working group report on citizen science and provide recommendations for its implementation, particularly focusing on youth engagement. The resolution emphasizes the potential of citizen science to enhance public awareness of environmental issues and support state agencies in data collection efforts.
