AI Summary

This bill creates two new crimes related to judges in New Mexico. First, it establishes the crime of "Threatening a Judge or an Immediate Family Member of a Judge," which makes it illegal to threaten a judge or their close family member with the intent to cause fear of harm, prevent the judge from performing their duties, or retaliate against the judge. This is a fourth-degree felony. Second, the bill creates the crime of "Malicious Sharing of Personal Information of a Judge or an Immediate Family Member of a Judge," which prohibits sharing a judge or their family member's personal information (like address, phone number, email, or location) with the intent to cause harm, create fear of harm, or prevent the judge from doing their job. This is a misdemeanor. The bill defines "immediate family member" and "judge" for the purposes of these new crimes.
