The proposed joint resolution seeks to amend the New Mexico Constitution by adding a new section to Article 5, which would establish the "Children, Youth and Families Commission." This commission is intended to oversee and direct the operations of a state agency within the executive branch that is responsible for child welfare. The commission will consist of members appointed by the governor, the speaker of the house, and the president pro tempore of the senate, each appointing one member who possesses relevant educational credentials and experience in child welfare and administration.

Commission members will serve staggered six-year terms, with provisions for filling vacancies and the removal of members for misconduct. The resolution stipulates that the proposed amendment will be presented to the public for approval or rejection during the next general election or any special election called before that date.
