The bill establishes a public policy in New Mexico that prohibits the use of corporal punishment in early childhood education, care, and primary and secondary education. It mandates that the state or any political subdivision cannot provide benefits or enter into contracts with educational providers unless they have a written policy in place that explicitly prohibits corporal punishment on their premises.

Additionally, the bill defines "benefit" to encompass various forms of support, including financial assistance, permitting, licensing, accreditation, and other advantages or privileges. This legislation aims to ensure a safe and supportive educational environment for all students by eliminating corporal punishment as a disciplinary measure.
