SUMMARY

Synopsis of Bill

Senate Memorial 23 requests the Legislative Education Study Committee (LESC) to study the governance structure and rulemaking process of the New Mexico Activities Association, (NMAA).

Significant Issues

The New Mexico Activities Association regulates, supervises, directs and administers all interschool competitive activities, particularly sports activities, in public schools. The NMAA also controls public school academic competitions.

According to the memorial, “there is little accountability on association actions, since it is exempt from regulation by the public education department.”
