Cause Of Action For Rights Infringement

Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill creates a new way for people to sue for damages in New Mexico if someone intentionally stops them from using their rights under the U.S. Constitution. This applies if the obstruction happens through unlawful force, fraud, coercion, or other illegal means. Lawsuits must be filed within three years of the incident, and New Mexico's rules for intentional torts will apply.
