AI Summary

  • Amends Section 14-2-1.2 NMSA 1978 to add a new exception to public disclosure of law enforcement records
  • Visual or audio recordings of law enforcement notifying a family member about a change in cause of death would be exempt from public disclosure
  • Release of such recordings would require permission from the person who received the notification
  • Existing law already protects recordings of initial death notifications to family members; this extends similar protection to subsequent cause-of-death change notifications
