Summary
The measure changes New Mexico law so that second‑degree human‑trafficking cases must be filed within six years of being reported, and it makes it a felony to exploit anyone under 18 in prostitution. It also defines “coercion,” “harm,” and “commercial sexual activity,” bars certain defenses, and prevents victims from being charged. The changes aim to strengthen penalties and protect victims.
