FUNDING FOR HOME OR PRIVATE SCHOOL, CA
This joint resolution proposes amending New Mexico's constitution to permit state funding for home or private school education. It would remove constitutional barriers (currently in Article 4, Section 31) that prohibit state funds from going to non-state-controlled educational institutions. If approved, it would enable future legislation to create a program providing state funds directly to parents or guardians for school-age children's education in home or private settings. This is a constitutional amendment proposal, not an operational bill.
