The proposed "Anti-Hazing Act" establishes comprehensive measures to combat hazing at public and private post-secondary educational institutions in New Mexico. It mandates the creation of a code of conduct that explicitly prohibits hazing, the formation of a hazing prevention committee, and the implementation of hazing prevention education for both students and employees. The act defines hazing and outlines penalties for individuals and organizations that engage in or fail to report hazing incidents. Specifically, it establishes that hazing is a misdemeanor offense, and organizations that permit hazing can be held liable for damages. Additionally, individuals found guilty of hazing may lose access to state-funded grants and scholarships.

Starting in the 2025 academic year, institutions are required to maintain and publicly report findings of hazing violations, including details about the organizations involved and the nature of the violations. The act also requires social fraternities and sororities to notify institutions of any investigations related to hazing and to provide documentation of past violations to maintain their registration. The legislation emphasizes the importance of education and awareness in preventing hazing, ensuring that both students and staff are informed about the risks and prohibitions associated with such activities.
