PROHIBITING ANTISEMITIC DISCRIMINATION

SB 195 would add "antisemitic discrimination" to New Mexico's Human Rights Act, defining it as hatred toward Jewish people, those perceived as Jewish, or attacks on their property or religious institutions. It prohibits employers, public accommodations, government entities, and their contractors from engaging in such discrimination. The bill would allow individuals harmed by antisemitic discrimination to file claims under existing Human Rights Act procedures. The bill was introduced in January 2025 but was postponed indefinitely by the Senate on June 3, 2025, and remains pending.
