SANTA FE, N.M. (KRQE) – The governor along with Democratic and Republican lawmakers all agree it's time to revamp New Mexico's Children, Youth and Families Department. Now, KRQE News 13 is getting a better look at how some lawmakers say that should happen. CYFD seems all but sure to face changes this legislative session, but exactly how, is expected to draw a lot of debate. One of the first Democratic proposals calls for changes in how the department leader is picked and more.  "While it's a huge agency, they need our help they need our direction," said Representative Gail Armstrong, Minority Floor Leader (R-Magdalena).  Story continues below Business: Quantum computing company to open new development hub in New Mexico Community: 8 NM eateries, chefs and bars make James Beard Awards semifinalists list National: NM Department of Justice challenging order ending birthright citizenship Socorro Republican Gail Armstrong is among those pushing for CYFD reform this session, something the governor also called for in her State of the State address. "Those in the care of the Children Youth and Families Department deserve a whole lot more," said Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham.   Republicans and Democrats are now working on a lot of ideas. "We would like to see the CARA program for substance-exposed newborns. We would like to see that program moved to the health care authority. We believe that that is the right fit for that program," said Representative Meredith Dixon, (D-Albuquerque).  The CARA Act lets moms with drug issues take their babies home after they're born. Some lawmakers claim those rules have led to life-threatening situations. "We are sending those babies home with mothers that are addicted and families that have you know issues and so we want to help them as much as we can. We don't want for it to be negative. We want to help them," said l Armstrong.  A draft proposal from Democrats also calls for changing how the CYFD secretary could be selected with a commission nominating finalists. "My concern about that is, is there a list of qualifications of the people that we appoint first of all?" said Armstrong.  However, Democrats said they'll address those concerns. "Ensuring that the folks that are being nominated from the nominating committee have exceptional qualifications in child welfare, that's something that I think we're going to ensure happens," said Dixon.  House Speaker Javier Martinez agreed that CYFD is in need of change. "There's a lot of reform work that will happen, including potentially changing the way the head of this particular department is selected," said Javier Martinez, speaker of the house (D) Albuquerque.  Armstrong and Dixon are planning to work together on that proposal over the coming weeks. Lawmakers said we should also expect to see several other bills filed in relation to CYFD reform this session, along with more funding for CYFD. The governor has specifically called for an outside oversight agency to review the department's performance every six months. Meanwhile, Democrats and Republicans are supporting creating a special "Child Advocate" office inside of the New Mexico Department of Justice.
