NM HB206

Expands the Crime Victims Reparation Act to add assault, battery, criminal sexual contact, and armed robbery (robbery while armed with a deadly weapon) to the list of crimes for which victims may receive reparation

Amends Section 31-22-8 NMSA 1978 to include these additional enumerated offenses alongside existing qualifying crimes such as murder, kidnapping, criminal sexual penetration, stalking, and human trafficking

Previously, only aggravated assault and aggravated battery were covered; the amendment now includes non-aggravated assault and battery as qualifying offenses

Criminal sexual contact and criminal sexual contact of a minor are added as separate enumerated offenses distinct from criminal sexual penetration
