Date Passed

Effective Date

1/29/2025

Summary

Creates a House memorial requesting the Legislative Education Study Committee to convene an Artificial Intelligence Work Group to study uses of AI in public education, including impacts on curriculum, student data privacy, and procurement. The work group is directed to consult stakeholders and report recommendations to interim committees.

Healthcare Implications

While education‑focused, the work group’s recommendations can influence AI governance models, procurement standards, and privacy safeguards used by public entities, including school‑based health and behavioral health programs. Cross‑sector guidance on data protection, bias, and transparency can inform New Mexico’s broader health AI policy environment and youth mental‑health screening tools used in schools.
