HB 307 requires attorneys and law firms to disclose their fees when advertising settlement or judgment amounts in civil cases. If an ad mentions a client received a monetary award (e.g., "$50,000 settlement"), it must also state the fee the client paid for the legal services. Violations incur a $500 civil penalty per ad, enforced by the attorney general or district attorney, with collected fines deposited into the school fund. The law takes effect on July 1, 2027.
HB 346, introduced by Representative Gail Armstrong in New Mexico's 2026 legislative session, is a procedural bill with no substantive provisions detailed in the provided context. The bill's title ("PUBLIC PEACE, HEALTH, SAFETY & WELFARE") is broad and does not specify any concrete policy changes or affected groups. Since the bill has only been referred to the House Rules and Order of Business Committee (with no print date or text provided), its specific mechanisms or impact cannot be determined from the available information. No concrete policy changes or affected stakeholders can be identified at this stage.
Based on the provided context, SB 288 (introduced by Senator Liz Stefanics) is a bill related to public peace, health, safety, and welfare in New Mexico. It has been referred to the Senate Conservation Committee (with a recent action date of February 4, 2026) but no specific provisions, mechanisms, or affected groups are described in the available text. The bill's full text and detailed summary are not included in the provided context. Therefore, a substantive policy summary cannot be generated from the information given.
SB 266 is a New Mexico state bill introduced in the 2026 legislative session that relates to public peace, health, safety, and welfare. The bill has not yet been printed by the Senate Rules Committee and its action was postponed indefinitely as of March 24, 2026. Because the bill's text does not include specific provisions or policy changes, its exact effects on residents or government operations cannot be determined from the available information.
HB 345 is a New Mexico state bill introduced in the 57th Legislature's second session of 2026 that relates to public peace, health, safety, and welfare. The bill was introduced by Representative Gail Armstrong but has not advanced through the legislative process, as it was not printed in the House Rules and Order of Business Committee on February 4, 2026, and its action was postponed indefinitely on March 24, 2026. Because the bill has not been printed or debated, its specific provisions, mechanisms, or intended effects remain unknown and cannot be described.
HB 339 amends New Mexico's juvenile justice law to expand the definition of "serious youthful offender" to include children aged 15-18 charged with criminal sexual penetration in the first degree. This change requires courts to commit such juveniles to the Children, Youth and Families Department until they turn 26, rather than transferring them to adult court. The bill also mandates similar long-term commitments for certain other juvenile offenders, including those adjudicated for specific violent or sexual offenses like murder or aggravated battery. These provisions standardize custody terms for serious juvenile cases within New Mexico's juvenile justice system.
The context provided does not include the specific provisions, mechanisms, or policy changes of HB 375. Only the bill's title ("PUBLIC PEACE, HEALTH, SAFETY & WELFARE"), sponsor (Art De La Cruz), and a note that it was "not printed" by the House Rules and Order of Business Committee on February 4, 2026, are available. Without bill text or a detailed summary, no factual description of its content, affected parties, or concrete policy changes can be provided. The title alone is too broad to indicate specific legislative action.
SB 294 is a legislative bill introduced by Peter Wirth in the 57th Legislature of New Mexico during the 2026 session. The bill relates to public peace, health, safety, and welfare, but its specific provisions are not detailed in the available text.

Without further details on its content, it is unclear what concrete policy changes the bill would implement or which groups it would directly affect.
The provided context for SB 299 does not include specific provisions, mechanisms, or policy changes of the bill. It only lists the bill's title ("PUBLIC PEACE, HEALTH, SAFETY & WELFARE"), sponsor (Senator Pat Woods), and a note that it is pending before the Senate Finance Committee (as of February 4, 2026). No concrete details about who the bill affects or what it would change are included in the text. Without substantive bill language or a summary, a factual policy description cannot be provided.
The provided context does not include the actual text, provisions, or specific details of HB 357 beyond its title and a procedural referral note. Without the bill's content or a substantive summary describing its policy changes, mechanisms, or affected parties, a factual summary cannot be created. The recent action ("not printed House Rules and Order of Business Committee") only indicates procedural status, not the bill's purpose. To generate an accurate summary, the full bill text or an official description would be required.
SB 305 renames the "Juvenile Community Corrections Act" to the "Juvenile Community Connections Act" and establishes the "Juvenile Community Connections Grant Fund" to fund community-based programs for youth involved in the juvenile justice system. The bill directs funds to support research-based interventions for adjudicated delinquents (youth aged 18-22) and children referred to juvenile services, prioritizing programs that reduce recidivism, improve school attendance, and address trauma. It restricts administrative costs to 12% of funds, requires grantees (counties, municipalities, or nonprofits) to integrate volunteer services, and mandates annual reports to the legislature on program outcomes. The bill directly affects youth in the juvenile justice system and the agencies providing community-based services.
The context provided does not include the actual text, provisions, or specific details of HB 340. Without the bill's content or a substantive summary describing its mechanisms or affected parties, a factual summary cannot be generated. The title ("PUBLIC PEACE, HEALTH, SAFETY & WELFARE") is too broad to indicate specific policy changes, and the "Recent Actions" only note it was introduced and referred to a committee. To create the requested summary, the full bill text or an official summary would be required.
