New Mexico Enacts Landmark Qualified Immunity Reform Legislation for All Public Officials


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. But whereas the Colorado and NYC bills were both limited to police officers, the New Mexico Civil Rights Act applies more broadly to ....

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.
House Bill 4, the New Mexico Civil Rights Act, passed 39 to 29 on Tuesday afternoon after about three hours of discussion.
Area Republican Reps. Candy Spence Ezzell, District 58; Greg Nibert, District 59; and James Townsend, District 54; voted against it, as did Rep. Phelps Anderson, District 66, who is registered as “Decline to State.”

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.
