This bill establishes a new permanent joint interim committee known as the "legislative health and human services committee," which will consist of ten members—four from the Senate and six from the House of Representatives. The committee is tasked with overseeing health and human services in New Mexico, conducting studies, recommending legislative changes, and reporting its findings to the legislature. Members will serve two-year terms, and the chair and vice chair will alternate between the two houses every two years. The bill also creates the position of a director for the committee, who will be appointed by the committee and will manage its operations.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for the reimbursement of committee members and staff for travel expenses, outlines the process for the expenditure of funds appropriated for the committee, and mandates that state agencies provide requested information to the committee. It repeals existing sections of the New Mexico Statutes Annotated (NMSA) related to health and human services committees and appropriates $500,000 from the general fund for the committee's initial staffing and activities in fiscal year 2027.
