Bill > SB269

This bill requires all state agencies and entities receiving state funding in New Mexico to develop and implement policies to decrease institutional racism and provide equitable and fair service to the state's diverse communities. It outlines specific actions the agencies must take, such as assessing their anti-institutional racism policies, creating data infrastructure to track progress, evaluating race and gender gaps in hiring and pay, including criteria for promoting diversity and inclusion in job postings and appointments, and providing annual anti-racism training for all employees. The bill defines "institutional racism" as policies and practices that unintentionally or intentionally disadvantage certain racial and ethnic groups.
