Healthcare Privacy & Safety Protections

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill strengthens privacy protections for electronic medical records in New Mexico, particularly for reproductive and gender-affirming healthcare. It limits the disclosure of certain health information, restricts location tracking at relevant healthcare facilities, and allows providers of these services to participate in a confidential substitute address program. The bill also outlines civil penalties for violations and amends hospital licensing requirements to include the provision of abortion or sterilization procedures when medically necessary for emergency conditions.
