LAW ENFORCEMENT ID AND CONCEALING IDENTITY

Summary

The bill obligates New Mexico peace officers to carry and visibly display identification showing their name, badge number, rank and agency, and to present it to the public on request. Officers may not wear opaque face coverings while interacting with the public, except for medical‑grade masks, respirators, or smoke‑protective masks during declared emergencies. Exceptions are provided for undercover work, SWAT duties, and explosive‑disposal operations, and violations are treated as misdemeanors.
