Driver Privacy And Safety Act

Became law

This already passed. Here's what you can still do.

1. Push for repeal or amendment

Legislative staff still count constituent contacts on enacted laws. A steady mail stream is what gets a bill onto the next session's repeal docket. Pick “Oppose” below and the message will frame the ask around repeal, amendment, or enforcement relief.

3. Tell people the bill affects

Most people don't hear about a state-level bill until enforcement starts. A short note now (not a thread, just a link) gives the people most affected time to plan.

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill, called the "Driver Privacy and Safety Act," limits how information from automated license plate readers can be shared. It prevents sharing this data for immigration enforcement, investigating activities legal in New Mexico (like reproductive or gender-affirming healthcare), or identifying people based on protected constitutional activities. Law enforcement agencies using these readers must report quarterly to the attorney general about requests for this information, especially from out-of-state parties. Violations can lead to court orders and civil penalties of $10,000 or actual damages.
