NM SB86

Expands New Mexico's existing telephone harassment law (Section 30-20-12 NMSA 1978) to cover all forms of electronic communication, not just traditional telephone calls

Defines "electronic communication" to include wire line, cable, wireless, or cellular telephone calls; social media posts; text messages; and instant messages or email

Prohibits using electronic communication with intent to terrify, intimidate, threaten, harass, annoy, or offend by using obscene/lewd/profane language, suggesting criminal acts, threatening injury, attempting extortion, or disrupting another's peace through repeated anonymous contact

First offense is a misdemeanor; repeat offenders with prior convictions under this section or equivalent laws in other jurisdictions are guilty of a fourth degree felony

Establishes that offenses may be prosecuted either where the electronic communication originated or where it was received
