MEDICAL PROVIDER PATIENT IPRA INFO

SB 57 amends New Mexico's public records law to exempt from disclosure any record containing personal identifying information or sensitive information related to medical providers who perform abortion services and are employed by a public body (such as a public hospital or government health agency). This means records about a provider's abortion-related practice - like patient details or specific medical documentation - cannot be accessed by the public under the state's open records law. The bill directly affects public health facilities and medical providers offering abortion care, ensuring their practice records remain confidential. It does not change access to records about other medical services or non-abortion-related care.
