New Mexico Civil Rights Act passes House, moves on to the Senate
SANTA FE – The New Mexico Civil Rights Act (HB 4), a bill that divided the state s Civil Rights Commission over the issue of qualified immunity, passed the state House of Representatives Tuesday afternoon and will move on to consideration in the Senate.
HB 4 would allow individuals to sue state and local government entities, including law enforcement agencies and educational institutions for deprivations of civil rights under the state Constitution in state district courts rather than federal courts.
It requires public entities to indemnify employees for monetary damages awarded in such lawsuits when brought against individuals, leaving agencies on the hook if a law enforcement officer or other government agent is found to have violated a plaintiff s civil rights.
