Act Now
Support SB 49 - School Age-Appropriate Filtering Pilot
Support Transparency Without Banning Books
SB 49 creates a voluntary, age-appropriate rating pilot for school library materials—giving parents the transparency they are asking for while protecting intellectual freedom and academic integrity. This commonsense bill strengthens trust between families and schools by treating parents as partners in education, not obstacles.
Importantly, SB 49 does not ban or remove books. Instead, it provides information so parents can stay engaged and informed about their child’s learning environment. Schools choose whether to participate, local control is preserved, and instructional materials are not affected.
📌 Why Action Is Needed Now:
SB 49 is moving through the legislative process, and lawmakers need to hear from families who support transparency, trust, and collaboration in education.
👉 Contact your legislators today and urge them to SUPPORT SB 49.
Let them know New Mexico families want solutions that build trust—without censorship.
Support HB 193 - Educational Scholarship Tax Credit Act
HB 193 expands educational opportunity for low-income New Mexico families—without raising taxes or cutting public school funding.
This bill allows individuals and businesses to donate to nonprofit scholarship organizations that help eligible low-income students attend private schools of their family’s choice. Donations are privately funded, tightly regulated, and include strong transparency and accountability requirements.
HB 193 empowers parents, strengthens communities, and provides real options for students who need them most.
Take action today and urge your legislator to vote YES on HB 193.
Support HB 157 - Pregnancy & Parenting Resource Website & Hotline
HB 157, which would have created a centralized pregnancy and parenting resource website and hotline to support expectant families, has been rolled at the request of the sponsor.
During committee preparation, amendments were proposed that would have fundamentally altered the purpose and integrity of the bill. Rather than allow changes that would have undermined the bill’s original intent—to provide clear, practical support to families—the sponsor chose to pause the effort.
We are grateful for leadership that protects both families and good policy.
While HB 157 will not move forward this session, our commitment to strengthening families and improving access to pregnancy and parenting resources remains strong.

2026 Session Wins
🎉 Victory for New Mexico Families: SB 189 Stalls in Senate Finance
As the legislative session comes to a close, SB 189 has officially stalled in Senate Finance and will not move forward this year.
This is a significant win for New Mexico families.
SB 189 would have required insurance plans across our state to fully cover abortion and gender-affirming medical care with no out-of-pocket cost to the person using those services — while spreading the cost across all policyholders. The bill also created a new state-controlled “Reproductive Health Care Access Fund” and established a new financial mechanism tied to abortion-related insurance accounts.
Families who never use — and may strongly oppose — these services would still have been required to participate financially through higher premiums, with no meaningful individual opt-out.
Because this bill stalled, families are protected — for now — from expanded insurance mandates, additional funding structures tied to abortion services, and further erosion of choice and accountability.
This outcome did not happen by accident. It happened because New Mexicans spoke up, contacted their legislators, testified, and stayed engaged.
Thank you for standing for families, parental rights, religious freedom, and healthcare choice.
We celebrate this win — and we remain committed to staying vigilant.
HB 279 Stalls in the House — A Win for Clarity & Accountability
We are grateful to share that HB 279 has stalled in the House and will not advance this session.
While the bill was presented as a privacy measure, the committee substitute went much further. It created a special legal category called “protected health care activity,” focused specifically on abortion services and gender-affirming care, and layered expanded confidentiality protections around those services across multiple areas of law.
Our concern was never about privacy itself. Privacy matters.
Our concern was about balance and accountability.
HB 279 would have expanded confidentiality around abortion and gender-affirming procedures without clearly safeguarding parental access to minor medical records, without defining emergency disclosure standards, and without strengthening oversight mechanisms. Instead of applying neutral privacy protections across healthcare, the bill isolated and insulated specific service categories from transparency and traditional legal process.
In a state already facing healthcare workforce shortages and rural access challenges, increasing legal insulation while reducing clarity and accountability carries real consequences.
We are thankful for the legislators who carefully examined the statutory, clinical, and constitutional implications of this proposal.
Protecting privacy should never come at the expense of parental clarity, continuity of care, or accountability in high-risk medical procedures.
Thank you to everyone who called, emailed, testified, and prayed. Your voice matters — and it made a difference.
PASSED: HB 99 - Medical Malpractice Changes
House Bill 99, which reforms New Mexico’s medical malpractice laws, is now on its way to Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham for consideration. Paired with the interstate medical licensure compact measures, the state is better positioned to retain current physicians and recruit more to practice here.
Thank you to the bill’s House sponsors, Republican Leader Gail Armstrong (Representative Gail Armstrong) and Democratic Rep. Christine Chandler (Representative Christine Chandler, NM HD43, as well as Republican Sen. Crystal Brantley (Senator Crystal Diamond Brantley) for carrying the floor amendment to restore the bill’s interest provision.
We appreciate the bipartisan coalition of lawmakers, alongside the Governor, for prioritizing access to care this session. And thank you to everyone who responded to our action alerts — your engagement was heard and truly made a difference!
PASSED: SB 1 - Interstate Medical licensure Compact
🎉 SB 1 Is Now Law — A Win for Access to Care in New Mexico
We’re excited to share that SB 1 — the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact — has officially been signed and chaptered into law.
This new law allows New Mexico to join the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact, creating an expedited pathway for highly qualified physicians to become licensed in multiple states — including ours — without lowering standards or reducing oversight.
What This Means for New Mexico Families
✔ Faster licensure for already-qualified physicians
✔ Improved access to doctors, especially in rural and underserved communities
✔ Continued state authority over licensing and discipline
✔ Strong transparency and accountability safeguards
✔ A built-in repeal mechanism to protect New Mexico law
SB 1 modernizes our medical licensure system while preserving the high standards and patient protections New Mexicans expect.
This is a pro-patient, pro-access, pro-accountability reform — and we are grateful to the lawmakers who worked together to get it across the finish line.
🙌 Thank You for Standing for Access to Care
Your engagement, support, and advocacy matter. When we work together, we can strengthen systems that serve New Mexico families.
Today we celebrate progress.
And tomorrow, we keep building.
STOPPED: SB 18 - Clear Horizons
🎉 Victory for New Mexico Families — SB 18 Defeated!
We’re celebrating a major win for New Mexico families, workers, farmers, and rural communities: the New Mexico Senate voted to defeat SB 18, the Clear Horizons Act on the Senate Floor. After broad opposition from legislators across the aisle, the bill was rejected — stopping a proposal that would have locked in costly mandates without protections for jobs, energy affordability, or our state budget. Seven Democrats joined Republicans in voting NO, preventing SB 18 from becoming law and preserving flexibility for future leadership to chart a balanced path forward. This outcome protects families from higher energy and food costs, supports economic stability, and keeps decision-making in the hands of elected officials rather than unelected boards.
📣 Thank you to everyone who raised their voices — your engagement helped make this victory possible!
STOPPED: SB 17 - STOP ILLEGAL GUN TRADE ACT
SB 17 – Stalled in House Judiciary
Senate Bill 17, the “Stop Illegal Gun Trade and Extremely Dangerous Weapons Act,” would have imposed sweeping new regulations on firearm dealers across New Mexico. The bill required extensive security mandates, mandatory reporting requirements, state inspections, new employment restrictions, and broad prohibitions on the sale of commonly owned firearms and magazines holding more than ten rounds SB0017JUS. It also restricted certain semiautomatic firearms and .50 caliber rifles, expanded state oversight of dealers, and created new penalties for noncompliance.
After five hours of intense debate in the House Judiciary Committee and an overwhelming showing of public testimony in opposition, the bill has effectively been stalled and did not advance.
This outcome demonstrates the power of informed citizens speaking up. When New Mexicans engage, legislators listen. This was a major moment of accountability—and a reminder that public pressure matters.
