The New Mexico Senate has passed a bill that aims to increase oversight of the state’s Children, Youth, and Families Department (CYFD). The bill, which was approved by a vote of xx-xx, seeks to address concerns about the effectiveness of CYFD in protecting children and families in the state.
The legislation would establish a new office of the Child Advocate, which would be responsible for overseeing and monitoring the operations of CYFD. The office would have the authority to investigate complaints, review policies and procedures, and make recommendations for improvement.
Supporters of the bill say that increased oversight is necessary to ensure that CYFD is fulfilling its mission to protect vulnerable children and families. They believe that the new office of the Child Advocate will provide an important check on the agency’s actions and help to prevent future cases of abuse or neglect.
The bill will now move to the House of Representatives for consideration. If passed, it could lead to significant changes in how CYFD operates and improve outcomes for children and families in New Mexico.
