GUN VIOLENCE PREVENTION TASK FORCE

SM 1 (Senate Memorial 1) requests the Crime Victims Reparation Commission to create a statewide task force to study gun violence in New Mexico and develop recommendations. The task force would include diverse stakeholders like law enforcement, health departments, tribal leaders, schools, gun advocates, and anti-violence groups. It must examine root causes of gun violence, evaluate current gun laws, promote public education on responsible ownership, and develop prevention strategies. The task force would report findings to state legislative committees and the governor, with no direct policy changes proposed.
