Bill > SB230

This bill requires state agencies in New Mexico to develop and implement policies to identify, assess, and decrease institutional racism. The state personnel office is tasked with evaluating race data related to hiring, promotion, retention, and pay, developing policies to address inequities due to institutional racism, conducting analysis of employment datasets, and providing anti-institutional racism training for all employees subject to the Personnel Act. Each state agency or entity receiving state funding must also assess their anti-institutional racism policies, incorporate diversity, equity, and inclusion values in their hiring and promotion processes, and provide aggregate demographic statistics for all employees. The bill defines "institutional racism" as actions that result in differential access to goods, services, and opportunities due to institutional programs, policies, and practices that disadvantage certain racial and ethnic groups.
