Bill > SB153

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 collected data must be reported to the legislature and made publicly available, with personal identifying information kept confidential. The data can be used for demographic analysis, coordination of care, quality improvement, research, reporting requirements, and policy or funding decisions. The bill specifies that data must be collected in accordance with federal program guidelines or state health department guidelines, and that data cannot be reported in a way that would identify individuals or be statistically unreliable.
