Summary

HB 279 amends New Mexico’s Electronic Medical Records Act to add stronger limits on who can see health information and to forbid location tracking at reproductive and gender‑affirming care facilities. It also updates licensing rules for certain hospitals, extends privacy safeguards to providers of reproductive drugs, and allows those providers to use the state’s Confidential Substitute Address Act. Violations would be subject to civil penalties.
