"New Mexico's 2024 Legislative Outlook: Pre-filing and New Laws in Effect"
In 2024, New Mexico will see several new laws take effect, including the transfer of authority for child support scheduling to the Human Services Department, the creation of a Nontraditional Communication or Disability Registry to aid safe interactions with police, and the establishment of a secure online system for collecting ballot signatures. Additionally, a special license plate will support acequia and community ditch associations, funds will be allocated for domestic violence and drunk driving prevention, and excess oil and gas revenue will be invested for future financial stability. Permanent absentee voter registration will be introduced, the audit threshold for nonprofits will increase to $750,000, and health insurance plans will be required to offer fair cost-sharing for chiropractic services and prosthetic device coverage.
