The bill amends the Inspection of Public Records Act in New Mexico to include a new exception for the disclosure of records containing personal identifying information or sensitive information related to medical providers who perform abortion services. Specifically, it adds a new subsection (L) to Section 14-2-1 NMSA 1978, which states that records containing such information are exempt from public inspection. This change aims to protect the privacy of both medical providers and patients involved in abortion services.

In addition to the new insertion, the bill maintains existing exceptions to public record disclosure, which include various types of sensitive information such as medical treatment records, letters of reference, and trade secrets. The overall intent of the bill is to enhance privacy protections for medical providers in the context of abortion services while still allowing for the inspection of public records under certain conditions.
