A bill that would end qualified immunity as a defense in civil rights cases advanced from the Senate Health and Public Affairs Committee.
HB 4, known as the New Mexico Civil Rights Act, passed without recommendation in a 5 to 3 vote along party lines. State Sen. Gerald Ortiz y Pino, D-Albuquerque, amended the bill to remove acequias, land grants and other small units of government from the definition of a public body, said Daniel Marzec, communications director for House Speaker Brian Egolf’s office.
Egolf is a co-sponsor of the bill. The lead sponsor is Rep. Georgene Louis, D-Albuquerque.
The bill provides individuals whose civil rights have been violated the ability to sue the governmental body for up to $2 million in civil penalties. That would include attorney’s fees.

Burciaga, director of the Legislative Council Service, wrote in an email Monday.
The state Department of Health offers testing on a regular basis to staffers, police officers and members of the media who are in the building regularly during the session.
