New Mexico Enacts Landmark Qualified Immunity Reform Legislation for All Public Officials SHARE
Today, New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham signed into law House Bill 4, otherwise known as the New Mexico Civil Rights Act. This landmark piece of legislation creates a state‐law cause of action against any public official who violates someone’s rights under the New Mexico State Constitution, and it specifically provides that qualified immunity is
not available as a defense. The statute is therefore quite similar to both Colorado’s Law Enforcement Integrity and Accountability Act, enacted in June 2020, and the civil‐rights legislation approved by the New York City Council last month, both of which also created causes of action that do not allow qualified immunity.

A state bill that has been opposed by several county boards of commissioners, including Chaves County, has passed the New Mexico House of Representatives and is awaiting consideration of the Senate.

The Albuquerque Journal recently ran an Op Ed outlining its concerns over proposed House Bill 4. As the Journal points out,the bill may initially sound like a good thing. However, there’s a great deal of concern in the details of the bill, which has been labelled a proposed civil rights law, but really may just be at a great cost to the taxpayer.
The bill would abolish what’s called qualified immunity in the state cases as a defense for police officers, teachers and other government workers completing their day-to-day duties. Plaintiffs would no longer have to show that government employees violated constitutional rights when filing lawsuits. These claims are usually settled in federal court, the Journal notes, where they are probably best handled.
