The bill amends the Inspection of Public Records Act in New Mexico to include a new exception for public records. Specifically, it stipulates that records containing personal identifying information or sensitive information related to the practice of a medical provider who performs abortion services are exempt from disclosure. This addition aims to protect the privacy of both medical providers and patients involved in abortion services.

In the revised legal language, the bill introduces a new subsection (L) that explicitly states this exemption, while also making a minor adjustment to the existing subsections by renumbering the previous subsection L to M. The overall intent of the bill is to enhance confidentiality for sensitive medical practices, particularly in the context of abortion, amidst ongoing debates surrounding reproductive health rights.
