AI Summary
This bill amends the Inspection of Public Records Act in New Mexico to define "open format" as a file format that is machine-readable, exportable, and easily accessible to the public without restrictions that would impede its reuse. It also clarifies that converting an electronic record to an open format shall not be considered the creation of a new public record.
