Bill > HB14

This bill, the Unlawful Private Paramilitary Activity Act, creates a new section of the New Mexico law to prohibit certain activities by paramilitary organizations. Specifically, it bans members of paramilitary groups from publicly patrolling, interfering with government operations, impersonating peace officers, or intimidating others while armed with firearms, explosives, or other dangerous weapons. Violations are punishable as misdemeanors or felonies depending on the specific offense and its consequences. The bill includes exemptions for members of the U.S. armed forces, historical re-enactment groups, and authorized paramilitary training organizations. The attorney general and individuals harmed can seek civil remedies, including injunctions and damages, for violations of the act.
