Bill > HJR11

This Joint Resolution proposes to amend the New Mexico Constitution, requiring Congressional approval, to allow public school funding to be distributed to parents or legal guardians for the education of school-age children in home schools, private schools, or private virtual schools. The resolution specifically targets amendments to Articles 4, 9, and 12 of the state constitution, which currently restrict the use of public funds for non-state-controlled educational institutions. The proposed changes would create an exception to these restrictions, enabling financial support for these alternative educational options, and would be submitted to voters for approval before taking effect.
