Data privacy bill: tech v. community groups

New Mexico is considering competing data privacy bills. HB 410 (2025 | NM) came from the state Attorney General and is supported by tech companies while SB 420 (2025 | NM) is supported by community groups. The House author of HB 410 says the bill will “specifically empowers New Mexicans to take legal action if their information is unlawfully transferred to third parties by the likes of Elon Musk and his DOGE employees.”
