SUMMARY
Synopsis
of Bill
Senate Joint Memorial
47 resolves that CYFD, DOH, HSD and SDE collaborate on a coordinated plan to
address the problems of youth that occur early in children’s lives and to
present that plan to the appropriate interim committee of the legislature prior
to
Significant
Issues
HSD states that the plan developed as a result
of this joint memorial will help the agency in providing assistance through the
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program. Hopefully, an effective plan will reduce the
need for TANF later in life.
DOH states the plan would help in implementing
its strategic plan in program area 1:
Prevention, Health Promotion and Early Intervention. NM has multiple systems at the State and
sub-state levels with overlapping jurisdictions and requirements. These various systems operate in “silos” with
little interaction. An integrated plan
would assist efforts of agencies in developing coordinated programs.
ADMINISTRATIVE IMPLICATIONS
Participating agencies
will have to develop the plan to address youth problems out of the existing
staff resources.
TECHNICAL ISSUES
The appropriate interim committees of the
legislature to hear the plan should be the Legislative Health and Human
Services Committee and the Legislative Education Study Committee. The hearing should have participation from
all cabinet secretaries so they can explain how they will work together to
provide the essential services in a coordinated effort.

committee and the legislative education study committee”.
