This bill is a memorial requesting the Supreme Court of New Mexico to convene a statewide task force aimed at studying the gaps in legal services available to victims of domestic violence. The task force is tasked with assessing current legal services, identifying gaps particularly for indigent victims, and making recommendations for the design and implementation of cost-effective legal programs to address these gaps. The bill emphasizes the importance of providing a combination of resources, including full legal representation and limited-scope legal services, to effectively meet the diverse needs of domestic violence victims.

The proposed task force will consist of a diverse group of members, including representatives from the New Mexico Coalition Against Domestic Violence, New Mexico Legal Aid, the Supreme Court's Access to Justice Commission, and various judicial and community organizations. The task force is required to submit a report detailing its findings and recommendations to the interim committee dealing with courts, corrections, and justice issues, as well as to the governor by November 1, 2025. Additionally, copies of the memorial will be sent to relevant organizations and institutions involved in addressing domestic violence in New Mexico.
