HB 114 New Mexico House · 2025 Regular Session

BAN DISCRIMINATORY RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS

This bill bans discriminatory language in property deeds and documents, such as rules that restrict who can buy or live in a home based on race, gender, disability, or other protected characteristics. It directly affects property sellers, buyers, and county clerks who record deeds. The law requires removing such discriminatory terms before any property transfer can be recorded, and mandates updating existing documents with these clauses. It declares these restrictions void under New Mexico law, aligning with existing anti-discrimination protections for housing.
