House Memorial 48 requests the Legislative Education Study Committee to convene a task force aimed at exploring the feasibility of providing all educational activities offered by high schools free of charge to students. The resolution highlights the importance of various educational activities, such as marching band, speech and debate, and fine arts, in contributing to a well-rounded education and the mental well-being of students. It notes that many of these activities are underfunded, leading to financial barriers that prevent some students from participating.

The proposed task force will consist of a diverse group of members, including representatives from the Legislative Education Study Committee, the Public Education Department, the Albuquerque Public School District, and individuals with experience in high school music education. The task force is tasked with studying the feasibility of free educational activities and recommending strategies for implementation. A report detailing their findings and recommendations is to be submitted to the Legislative Education Study Committee and the Legislative Finance Committee by November 1, 2025. Additionally, copies of the memorial will be sent to relevant educational leaders and committees.
