Action Postponed Indefinitely (session adjourned sine die)
Summary
The bill amends the New Mexico Civil Rights Act so people can sue a public agency—or anyone acting under its authority—for violations of constitutional rights, but it caps the amount of money they can recover, removes punitive damages, and shortens the filing deadline to two years. It also requires claimants to give notice in a specific way and prevents them from collecting the same damages under the Tort Claims Act. The changes are meant to reduce government liability while preserving a path for redress.
