Bill > SB415

This bill aims to make certain terms of for-profit and not-for-profit private-sector employment law uniform throughout the state of New Mexico. The key provisions of the bill are: 1) It prohibits political subdivisions, including home rule municipalities and state institutions, from adopting laws, policies, or resolutions that regulate or attempt to regulate the hours, scheduling, or leave provided by private-sector employers to their employees. 2) It also prohibits these entities from requiring or attempting to require private-sector employers to provide their employees with paid or unpaid leave, fringe benefits, or other benefits that would incur an expense for the employer. The purpose of this bill is to establish state-level supremacy over local regulation of private-sector employment terms, ensuring consistency in employment laws throughout New Mexico.
