This bill is a memorial that emphasizes the importance of citizen science in New Mexico and requests the governor to declare a "Citizen Science Day." It highlights the state's rich natural resources and the need for state agencies to engage the public in monitoring these resources, particularly through citizen science initiatives. The bill acknowledges the contributions of programs like Wild Friends, which integrates civics and wildlife law education, and promotes collaboration between community members, state government, and scientists to collect valuable environmental data.

Furthermore, the memorial calls for specific state agencies, including the public education department and the New Mexico outdoor recreation division, to review a working group report on expanding citizen science initiatives. It encourages these agencies to provide recommendations for integrating citizen science into their operations, particularly to engage youth and foster scientific literacy. The resolution aims to raise awareness about the benefits of citizen science and to recognize the efforts of New Mexico residents and projects that contribute to this field.
