Bill > SB316

This bill requires certain executive departments and public bodies in New Mexico to collect voluntary self-identification information on sexual orientation and gender identity as part of their demographic data collection efforts. The data collected must be reported to the legislature and made publicly available, while protecting personal identifying information. The data can be used for demographic analysis, service coordination, quality improvement, research, reporting requirements, and policy or funding decisions. The bill specifies the state executive departments and public bodies subject to these requirements, and sets an effective date of October 31, 2021.
