SUMMARY

 

     Synopsis of Bill

 

Senate Joint Memorial requests that each public school district, school and student newspaper and newsletter be requested to publish the seven habits of highly effective families; and a copy of this memorial be transmitted to the State Board of Education, the superintendent of each public school district and the principal of each public school in New Mexico.

 

     Significant Issues

 

The SDE reports the “Seven Habits of Highly Effective Families” is a trademark of Franklincovey, and the publisher requires that anyone wishing to publish them obtain written permission from and pay a fee to Franklincovey.

 

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS

 

SJM 22 carries no appropriation and has no direct fiscal impact. However, costs would accrue to each school that published the Seven Habits of Highly Effective Families.


TECHNICAL ISSUES

 

SJM 22 does not indicate who is responsible for distributing copies of the memorial to each New Mexico public school.

 

OTHER SUBSTANTIVE ISSUES

 

Franklincovey would determine whether to grant permission to publish the Seven Habits of Highly Effective Families.
