RSS feed for New MexicoDistribution Of Sensitive And Deepfake Images
New Mexico's HB 22 (2026) would have expanded the unauthorized-distribution-of-sensitive-images law (NMSA 30-37A-1) to cover 'sensitive deepfake images', meaning images created, altered or digitally manipulated to show a person's uncovered genitals, a woman's breast below the top of the areola, or an intimate act. It would also have made malicious threats to distribute such images a crime and created civil claims for libel, slander, invasion of privacy and emotional distress. It was referred to the House Pre-filed Committee (HPREF) on January 21, 2026, was not printed, and was postponed indefinitely (undated); the bill died.
Sensitive Deepfake Images
New Mexico's HB 530 (2025) would have expanded the unauthorized-distribution-of-sensitive-images law (NMSA 30-37A-1) to cover 'sensitive deepfake images', meaning images created, altered or digitally manipulated to show a person's uncovered genitals, a woman's breast below the top of the areola, or an intimate act. It would also have made malicious threats to distribute such images a crime and added civil claims. It was introduced and referred to HCPAC and HJC on February 20, 2025, then postponed indefinitely (undated), and died.
No Use Of Ai For Rent Manipulation
New Mexico's HB 215 (2025), 'No Use of AI for Rent Manipulation', would have enacted a new section of the Uniform Owner-Resident Relations Act. Owners and their agents could not subscribe to or pay a 'coordinator', meaning a software or data analytics service that collects rent, supply or lease data from two or more owners, analyzes it by computation and recommends rents, renewal terms or occupancy; coordinators could not facilitate anticompetitive agreements; and owners could not engage in consciously parallel pricing. House Judiciary gave the committee substitute a Do Pass on February 18, 2025; the bill was then postponed indefinitely (undated) and died.
AN ACT RELATING TO ELECTIONS; AMENDING AND ENACTING SECTIONS OF THE CAMPAIGN REPORTING ACT BY ADDING DISCLAIMER REQUIREMENTS FOR ADVERTISEME…
New Mexico's HB 182 (Laws 2024, Chapter 57) amends the Campaign Reporting Act to address AI deepfakes. Campaign ads containing materially deceptive media (an image, video or audio produced in whole or in part with AI that shows someone saying or doing something they did not, published without consent) must carry the disclaimer "This ____ has been manipulated or generated by artificial intelligence." Knowingly distributing such media without the disclaimer within 90 days before an election to mislead voters is a crime: a misdemeanor, then a fourth degree felony. The act states no effective date.
Use Of Artificial Intelligence Transparency
New Mexico's HB 184 (2024), 'Use of Artificial Intelligence Transparency', would have required each executive agency to submit an annual inventory of its AI systems by October 1, 2024 and each October 1 after, with the General Services Department (changed to the department of information technology by committee amendment) reporting and assessing the systems for accuracy and bias. Procurement contracts for covered AI products would have had to require vendor transparency, with a $500,000 appropriation and a July 1, 2024 effective date. It received Do Pass reports from both House committees but was then postponed indefinitely (undated) and died.

New Mexico's HB 270 (Laws 2021, Chapter 114) sets rules for autonomous motor vehicles. It adds Motor Vehicle Code definitions for automated driving systems (SAE levels 3 to 5), autonomous and autonomous commercial motor vehicles and their operators, and allows platooning. Anyone testing an autonomous vehicle on a public highway must notify the Department of Transportation at least five calendar days in advance. Autonomous vehicles must meet federal safety standards and be able to obey state traffic laws, and local governments may not ban them solely for being automated. It took effect July 1, 2022.
